When a preposition is used with non-finite verbs, it is analysed as mark:

Prepositions linking numerals to their nominal heads are dependents of the numerals.

Compare this with numerals from 0 to 19 which take no preposition when modifying nouns:

Prepositions linking adverbs to their post-poned adjective or adverb heads are also mark on the modifying adverb:
