* Simple: _ag_ "at", _le_; "with"; _from_ "ó"
* Compound: _os cionn_ "above"; _i gcoinne_ "against"

Note that the compound prepositions are split in the UD treebank (they are joined by \_ in the IDT, i.e. _os\_cionn_). 
Both elements of the compound are assigned the ADP tag, and the fine-grained tag _Cmpd_ indicates that it is part of a compound.
Usually, nouns following compound prepositions are in the genitive case. However, there are some exceptions (e.g. _maidir le_). The fine-grained POS tag for these exception compound prepositions is _CmpdNoGen_.
