"Envased" is not an English word, if you mean that both projects have
lacked planning and foresight when it comes to copyright issues, then
I would argue that the exact opposite is the case:
You're right of course, and sometimes it would be quite understandable
if it meant that Anthere wanted to see you stuffed in a vase. :-)
Interesting thought...
Literally, the reference is to the feminine form of
"vase", which is the
sediment that builds up in a stagnant body of water. It becomes
"enveser" or silted over. Figuratively, it becomes "stuck in the
mud",
or "mired". An interesting word!
