<upd_detl>I've run across a word which is not in the dictionary.  It is 背越し（せごし）, which seems to mean something like "the back" or "the back part", as in 「ソファの背越しに手を伸ばして華奢な手から白い小さな器具を取り上げる」, which I found at the web page http://park2.wakwak.com/~luce/tale/pierce.html

A web search for 背越し generates a lot of results, so it seems to be a recognized word. I don't feel confident enough in my knowledge of this system to create a new entry, so I'm just suggesting it as a new entry. Thanks.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Unless I'm mistaken, this doesn't refer to the anatomic spine. Can be used for the spine of books, but 
that's not sense 1.</upd_detl>
