In each of the examples just given, the word displaced is one belonging to the first position, and is still recognizable as such, in spite of partial displacement. Thus, while the second word gains in legibility by securing its normal and distinctive place, the legibility of the first word is not obscured, because its position is merely modified, not absolutely sacrificed.
