You misunderstand. The only reason the amber absurdity existed for me in the first place was because I somehow was switching 'her' with 'on'. That being said, the sentence is strange and awkward. I feels like an inversion, but it's not, because if it was corrected it would sound like the shelf is entombed in amber. It's just weird, awkward, tortured phrasing with 'am' eliminated as if it were some lowly article or prep.

You know that I always leap into action upon your advice.(03-15-2014, 01:41 AM)ChristopherSea Wrote: (jeremy/geoff/trueE edit 2) is posted. As always, I appreciate the help.My bad,
For some reason I kept reading sit as transitive: entombed in amber, I sit her on the shelf.
I suppose it is because I am always expecting something to happen.
