v3.c19.81

The postpositions in Sindhi are more numerous, and are divided, more clearly than in the other languages, into two classes, those which are added direct to the oblique form of the noun, and those which are added to the genitive. Of the first class are भर or भरि “on,” “leaning on” (Skr. भर), where in H. भर rather means “full,” as कोस भर “a full kos;” तोडि and तोणि “up to,” which Trumpp regards as an emphatic locative from तोडु “end;” जां, जिंअ, जींअ, जिएं, “like” (Skr. यथा); डां, डांह, डे “towards,” with an ablative form डहां “from the direction of” (perhaps from Skr. दिश्); रे, रिअ, “without” (Skr. ऋते); सां, साणु, सें, सेणु “with” (Skr. सम; cf. B. सने).
