Mk 4:21b ... "or under the couch, ...?"

The third phrase has these 4 dialog words ... hē hupo tēn klinēn ("or under the couch, ...")?

The 4 words are bottom up. The 2 words "hē hupo" (or under) are tangent to the base of the equilateral triangle holding the lamp. The "wick hole" of the "lamp" is tangent to and directly under "the couch." The 2 words "tēn klinēn" (the couch) are tangent to the top of the white rectangle (the shape of a couch) that is tangent to the feet of Jesus.
