>>>No way (ergo, unreachable :). If you're understanding a tree, you're in danger of it falling on you; if you're overlying it, you have already fallen on it, not the other way around.

>In the UK, to "overtake" a car is to "pass" it. If you overtake on the nearside then this is colloquially known as "undertaking". And it's an easy way to end up in the care of "undertakers" (morticians).

On a related note... "podvodač" (underguide, or rather, sub-leader) is the official term for a pimp in Serbian et al.
