There's gold in the Landau PDF. One challenge I left implicit was that I need "atomic" terms for all the relevant cases @alexpoms

e.g. "right-ex" being a lexicalization of sorts of "exclusively to the right of" (i.e. no overlap) @alexpoms

One of the commentaries talk about lexicalization of "behind"…I hadn't been aware of its etymology before @alexpoms

for better or worse, this makes me more comfortable conjuring "new" locational terms given the atomic constraint @alexpoms

at least, presuming I can't find a ready-made vocabulary that captures the semantics relevant to the particular domain… @alexpoms
