Where something is — mostly in opposite pairs.
Arabic pairs most of these neatly as opposites.
| First | Opposite | |
|---|---|---|
| above / below | فَوْقَfawqa — above | تَحْتَtaḥta — below |
| before / after | قَبْلَqabla — before | بَعْدَbaʿda — after |
| front / behind | أَمَامَamāma — in front of | خَلْفَkhalfa — behind |
وَرَآءَ (warāʾa) is a second, more literary word for "behind / beyond" alongside خَلْفَ.
These have no natural opposite.
