Yeah, I get the "supra" from my Physical Anthropology class of 1974 where we examined fossil hominid skulls' supraorbital tori (brow ridges).
I think though that the lapsus (slip) is at work, and not the lapis (rock), since the word goes from p to s without an intervening i.

It's beyond (supra) that I'm still thinkin'. This one sure ain't easy like my sister.
