Re: "Difficult" clauses

Hi,

I'd suggest that one poem with "up from out of in under" or what it was
again. On the ZBB there was a topic recently, where you were asked to
translate a line of a song that you were listening to at the moment you read
the topic. In my case it was "Dig" by Incubus, part of its refrain goes like
this:

 | If I should turn into another
 | Dig me up from under what is covering
 | The better side of me

I think I'll use this as an exercise for multiple, lexicalized prepositions
myself, as I couldn't think of the exact wording of that poem I mentioned above.

Regards,
Carsten
