All languages have different rules for what prepositions to use in different expressions, and often, there is no rule at all.

What I like to see, is a solution where you put the whole expression into the dictionary rather than matching it up with a bunch of loose prepesitions.

Example:
relationships:
A is "in love with" B
A is "distant to" B

I'd like to remove all the preset prepositions from the dictionary, and store them inside the expressions, such as "baptised by", "married in".

Is it possible to do this without messing other language packs up?

I think GenoPro will have to have two lists: one list containing the names of emotional relationships and the other list containing the phrases for the emotional relationships.

Good. The same goes with a few other items too, like "A" is a "B" situated in "C",
in which, for instance, Swedish like french has different genders (un / une = en / ett) that should be stored together with the "B"-items, and different prepositions (like in, at, on) for the "C" items.

The whole idea of keeping the "smallwords" in a separate list is nice for verbs (is / are / were/ etc) and plurals, but dont generally help much for these two classes, as well as for social and emotional relationships.
