There was once an unusual restaurant near Tampa, Florida, called 'The Kapok Tree.' I remember enormous dining rooms, gardens with huge caryatids and the t-word-related equivalents--telemons or something like that?
The Kapok tree was a dining adventure, not so much for the food, which was average at best, but because of the rooms and the gardens. I heard it had closed down, which is too bad because it was a lark to go there and walk all around.

What would it be to layer things, one on top of the other? Is there a --pose word that shows vertical positioning?
How about superimpose?
"Juxta-" means "next to," I think. In the kidney there is the "juxtaglomerular apparatus" which helps regulate the blood pressure, and it's right next to the glomerulus.
Edit: Oh well. Six minutes late. At least I can still qualify with juxtaglomerular.

Laminate = like plywood Suprapose is not in my dictionary, but could be coined. Stratify might graify.

Wonderful! Superimpose is just right. Thanks to both of you, and, wwh, I was just posing a positional question--and the posse came in at about the same time.
Now I wonder whether there's a diagonal positioning --pose word?

reminds me of a little poem...
your back; sometimes our arms, together, the hypotenuse.
Euclid
