English term or phrase: foreshadow
This point is found in the region of the throat, but the invention also foreshadows a different position, for example just after the throat.

What is the Dutch for "foreshadow" in "patent speak"? Does anyone know?

Explanation:
Voorzover ik weet is dit niet een gangbare uitdrukking in octrooiteksten. Ik zou het vertalen met 'anticiperen op'.
