Surbed \Sur*bed"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Surbedded}; p. pr. & vb.
   n. {Surbedding}.] [Pref. sur- + bed.]
   To set edgewise, as a stone; that is, to set it in a position
   different from that which it had in the quarry.

         It . . . has something of a grain parallel with the
         horizon, and therefore should not be surbedded.
