Over
is one of the 100 words for operations and so on, specially for directions. The root-sense of over is the opposite of under. It will be put into French words like au dessus or restant; German like über or übrig. Over, when talking about number or amount, is the same as more than. If you are 31 years old or older, you are over 30. Over something, like long hair over the ear, for example, is covering something. Over is, sometimes, from one side of a thing to the other side, or from one end to the other. If you have gone over something, you will be at an end of it. It will be over. Here is an old saying: "It's never over till it's over." John Lennon said: "War is over!" If you go over something, come back, and go over it again, you will be said that you have done it over. If it's not enough, you may get a request to do it over and over again.
