They are stored in 'db_verbs.c' (Don't ask me why it's not a option in 
config.h) -- you have to alter them there. You can just append your alias 
for the prep, like this:

  "as",

would become:

  "as/comment",

You can use spaces in the prep names, but i'm not sure about other chars 
(like ' or `) -- one character you wont be able to put in a prep in any 
case, is a / ;-)

Hope this helps,

Thomas.
