Dear Sir,--I was much interested to see, in the January
_Gazette_, a short article by Esperantisto 8105 on the Esperanto
rendering of the preposition "of," and I am sure that many of us
found the information therein very useful. The gifted author of our
language has told us that "_cxiu prepozicio havas difinitan kaj
konstantan signifon_"; it is of the utmost importance, therefore,
that we should endeavour to find out what prepositions in our
national languages correspond with those he has selected. With this
object I hope from time to time, as the Editor may permit, to give
lists of sentences, illustrating curious usages, not only of
prepositions, but also of other words which offer difficulty to
English-speaking peoples.

The following phrases deal with the preposition "By."

BY.

He is loved by all his friends,
Li estas amata _de_ cxiuj siaj amikoj.

He was holding him by the neck by (or with) both hands,
Li tenadis lin _je_ la kolo _per_ ambaux manoj.

The little boy returned home quite by himself,
La knabeto revenis domen tute _per_ si mem.

He left the town by a by-way,
Li eliris la urbon _per flanka_ vojeto.

I want to stand by mother,
Mi volus stari _apud_ la patrino.

I stood by while he talked with his friend,
Mi staris _apude_, dum li paroladis kun sia amiko.

Not even a mouse ran by,
Ecx muso ne _preter_kuris.

In this minute two ladies passed us,
En tiu cxi minuto iris _preter_ ni du sinjorinoj.

I went by the windows of the house,
Mi iris _preter_ la fenestroj de la domo.

I am remaining here by the advice of my doctor,
Mi restadas tie cxi laux la konsilo de mia kuracisto.
