OP here's a rare gem that I dug up today:
contumulate - [fr. L. contumulare, to entomb]
obs. rare buried or entombed together
the only online usage I've found (other than Kevin Johnson's mock news item), was this excerpt from "A Suggestive Inquiry into Hermetic Philosophy" by Mary Anne Atwood (1960)
The King and Queen contumulate,
and joined as one together,
that which before was two by fate
is tyed, which none can sever.
