Uh, isn't that image for over, as in, the empty space is over the thing? Not the clearest picture. DAVilla 18:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

RFV discussion: August–September 2021
RFV adverb definitions:
 * 3. In a way lower or less than.
 * 4. In a way inferior to.

I don't even understand how these are definitions of adverbs. Don't they imply an object: than something, to something? Mihia (talk) 11:11, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the definitions are just written in haste. An adverb like this is treated by CGEL as an "intransitive" preposition. Though we don't follow CGEL on this, it does give a hint as to how to correct the definition. Just as many intransitive verb senses are much like transitive verb senses with the addition of a word like something in the definition, so can we make these "In a way lower or less than something" and "In a way inferior to something". I expect that citations can be found for such revised definitions. At least the task is not syntactically impossible. DCDuring (talk) 00:55, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, then let's instead try to verify:
 * In a way lower or less than something. (= In a lower/lesser way?)
 * In a way inferior to something. (= In an inferior way?)
