Rooms give onto other rooms, or paths give onto clearings or vistas: there's an underlying notion of forward progress. | |
| Aug 31, 2018 at 11:17 | comment | added | cobaltduck | I personally find "The window overlooks the lake" somewhat awkward as opposed to "One can overlook the lake via the window" or similar. On the other hand, the first is perfectly sensible and conveys the idea. | |
