Here I implemented postpositions to the experimental grammar.

{do ca fa prami mi co fe} = {fa do prami fe mi} = {do prami mi}
{i lo vanci co ca klama fa mi} = {i ca lo vanci cu klama fa mi}

Justification:

1. It's afterthought. The same reason people prefer GIhEKs to GEKs. One may first say {lo vanci} and only then think what sumtcita matches their thought.
2. Some languages like Japanese use postpositions. Some languages like most SAE languages use case suffixes, not prefixes. This is what {ko'a co FA} matches more closely.

I think, this addition doesn't add any new scoping opportunities to the language ( I mean scoping of {da}, tags, some UI).

Objections to the github changelog?

Besides, "... ago" would be {copuza} since it's also a postposition.
