upper (adjective: higher in elevation or position, opposite of lower)
This adjective describes spatial elevation, appearing in contexts of geography and water sources. In Joshua 15:19 and Judges 1:15, Achsah asks her father Caleb for 'the upper springs' (in addition to 'the lower springs'). The contrast between עִלִּית (upper) and תַּחְתִּית (lower) is explicit and functional, distinguishing springs at different elevations in the Negev. All modern translations render 'upper' or equivalent forms.
