Holes, windows, same difference... and not necessarily in a building, correct.

I think I'm glad you're not a builder.

Is there an opposite of defenestration?

Fenestrated is an english word - it means to have windows.

That's as maybe (although I have it down as making holes in summat), but to defenestrate a fellow specifically means to throw him through a window.

That's right. The Defenestrations of Prague are particularly well known.
The First Defenestration of Prague involved the killing of seven members of the city council by a crowd in July 1419.
The Second Defenestration occured in 1618 when the two Catholic Regents of bohemia and their secretary were thrown from a 70 foot high window. Miraculously all three survived having landed on a dung hill.

But to answer your query, I'd have thought the opposite of being thrown through a window, i.e. to enter through a window, and not be thrown but to do so under one's own power, well yes, that's usually called burglary, but can also be called infenestration, I suppose.

I don't understand. Are not 'lighted' and 'posed' perfectly good English words? What are the rules again, Spotty?

Posed is a perfectly good word but is not the same as to be posed, slightly unseated, almost overthrown, nearly dethroned, which isn't a word at all. Hence why it has a place on the list. But arguments for its removal are valid, if you so wish to object. That'd take the grin off Bruce's face
