Fwd: supine vs. prostrate

Dear List,

A friend recently made the offhand comment that Vladimir Nabokov, though a
master of the English language, never observed the difference between
"supine" and "prostrate". He didn't have any examples to cite.
Any responses from the list to this charge?

yours,
Mike Stauss <jameselcoco@hotmail.com>
