I keep catching myself trying to use "oversee" to mean the visual equivalent of "overhear", before remembering that that is not what "oversee" means.

Meanwhile, "overlook" means something completely different from "oversee", and is *also* not analogous to "overhear".

English is a bullshit language, but then AFAIK so is every other language except *maybe* Lojban.

Clearly, the visual equivalent of "overhear" can only be "overlisten".
