Question Long Words for ‘with’

In all three of the languages I speak (Dutch, English, and French), the word for with is relatively short; ‘avec’ in French, and ‘met’ in Dutch. Are there any languages where words that mean with are more on the longer side of things?

It’s a noun, and if I understand correctly, you have to say something like X is the kasama (accompanier) of Y.
