Notes
She goes down and stays still, and the situation sets the position. On a physician’s table it means lie down and let him work. In a wagon or a sickroom it means rest. Face down, full length, arms at the sides and forehead to the floor is the formal version, used where Marka is not enough: before a magistrate, at a sentencing, after a serious correction. The word is the same, and everyone present knows which is meant.
