Yes, the Esperanto preposition "el" has a much wider meaning than the
spatial "out of", it is also used for a more abstract or general
origin or provenance: "li estas el Francio" (he's from France), "krono
el floroj" (a crown of flowers), "unu el ili" (one of them).

For "out of" as opposite of "into" in Lojban I suggest "to'o ne'i":

lo gerku cu bajra to'o ne'i lo zdani
"The dog runs out of the house."

mu'o mi'e xorxes
