Prepositional phrases
The following phrases made up of usually two prepositions and a noun
are in common use, although several will be found predominantly in the
written language. Those incorporating the preposition te usually have an
enclitic form of te + den = ten or te + der = ter, these being the former
definite articles in the dative case for masculine/neuter nouns and feminine
nouns respectively (see chapter 4). 5 Sometimes the noun also takes an archaic
dative -e, e.g. ten huize van ‘at the home of’. Many of these expressions
are commonly abbreviated, e.g. i.p.v. = in plaats van (see Appendix 3).
aan de hand van on the basis of, judging from
aan de voet van at the foot of
5 Ter as in ter bevordering van ‘as a promotion of’ and ter verklaring van ‘as an
explanation of’ etc. is still productive with feminine abstract nouns ending in -ing. (see
8.1.2.3 (b))
