I agree, but if Alice is lying on her= back looking at the night sky, couldn't she say that one star is "= ;above" or "below" another one? =C2=A0I think the point of v= iew does play a role in above/below that is different from the case of east= /west/north/south, but it's also different from in-front-of/behind and = left-of/right-of.
