Astride.

I once tried to make an exhaustive list of forms of the verb in English. I gave up at "He would have been going to go", realising that one can construct absurd forms that are never used. Then I found that very one being used in print. Looked normal in context. (I forget where.)

"Round" is sometimes used to mean "around". For example, Thelonious Monk famously used it that way.
-
I'd also question whether "nearby" is ever used (correctly) as a preposition.

Apparently 'modulo' is a preposition not on the list.

"amid", "amidst", "betwixt"?? I am not native, do native speakers ever use these words?
-
I'm also not a native speaker, but I certainly do see "amid" and "amidst" used. I don't think I've ever seen "betwixt" used in any other context than the idiom "betwixt and between".
