is where the accusative earns its keep. is a position, is a movement to that position, and the only difference is the -n. A handful of prepositions work this way (, , , , ); the rest, like and , never need it because their meaning already settles the question. As a prefix the root gives (to go down, to set) and subtera (underground).
