"with" as in "Shawn cuts bread with knife." = employ/use (x1 employ knife reason equal...)
"with" as in "Walk with me." = at the same time and in the presence of
"with" as in "The girl with the red hair." = possessing
"at" as in "Meet me at the mall." = in or out or front or behind or... (a general preposition)
"at" as in "Stare at the sky." = in the direction of
"to" as in "Run to the store." = in the direction of
"to" as in "I use the knife to cut the bread." = reason/purpose
I think the infinitive verbs: "to [run]" are "action that is [run]/acton: [run]". So "To run is fun." I think is "Action that is run is fun."
"while" = x1 in time equal time of x2
"You work while I eat."
"You work [in time equal time of] I eat."
xn doesn't have to be one word, it can be multiple words or no words... No words at least sometimes...
'For brevity's sake solve ambiguity problems that exist and do not solve ambiguity problems that do not exist.' And if you're creating a language that only you are likey to use then solve only your potential ambiguity problems and worry not about a hypothetical someone else's potential ambiguity problems.
