CHARACTER |
|
Location or disposition with reference to some dissimilar structure(s) or larger context. The lexicons relating to position and insertion overlap to a great degree, since these two morphological concepts are often inseparable in practice. Also overlaps conceptually with arrangement, habit, orientation, and shape. |
