Using -Job-'s website I made a list of usual Latin prepositions, conjunctions and another frequent words which is used in the VMs.
in = o - 82 times
ad, ut, id = chd - 8 times 
et, de, te = d - 51 times (but "et" can easily be hidden in the word as the add-on "-que")
est, si = s - 244 times
vel, vino, vano = cheo, sho - 195 times
die, dei, dii = dsh - 2 times
non = op, sho (sh with "bow" superscript) - 1+++
autem, vitam, vatum = chedy, shdy - 547 times
sic = lk - 1 time
I can't find the words: modo (only modum - 8 times), tunc (only tum, dum - 271 times), qui (only quis - 2 times, quam or quem - 30 times); locus (only locos or logos, or legens - 83 times; loco, logo, lego - 8 times). As well, per (1 time); pro (29 times); a (8 times); solum or sonum (4 times); ante, unde or alte (9 times); apud (1 time); cum (151 times); intra (1 time); inter (many times, but there is a confusion with 2 types of "r"); ob (10 times); penes (4 times); secundum, ultra (4 times); sine (15 times); tenus, dos, dens or deos (117 times); nec (7 times); inque (6 times); ac (2 times); atque, idem, item, udum (152 times); ex (2 times); quod (8 times); omnis (4 times); plus, mos, mens (48 times); minus, manus, munus, malus (28 times)  occur in the VMs.
What seems strange to me is low frequency of the prepositions "ad" and "a", "ab".
