WORD NOTE
fornent, fornenst
This is an excellent synonym for
opposite to,
facing,
and also
alongside.
It has a secondary discursive usage: "with regard to, concerning." Before dismissing this word as an arch and archaic poeticism, it should be remembered that it is common in Northern Ireland, used in an everyday way by everyday people. It is one of the many prepositions the English took to Ireland and then forgot to bring home with them when they left. This should be their loss and not the rest of the world's. Worth attempting in a novel if only to see what happens.
