Interline
Definition:
(v. t.) To write or insert between lines already written or printed, as for correction or addition; to write or print something between the lines of; as, to interline a page or a book.
(v. t.) To arrange in alternate lines; as, to interline Latin and English.
(v. t.) To mark or imprint with lines.
Example Sentences:
