    No because these are not comparable things. fire is the chemical reaction changing energy into heat, it IS heat to the extreme.

        Water is water. Something covered in water can be described as “wet”.

        And, no, water can’t be covered in water. It is just more water.

          water can’t be covered in water.

          This seems very… arbitrary.

          What if you used food coloring? You could have some red water, and if poured carefully, and before it diffused, you could “cover” it in blue water. Certainly, there’d be no way to get to the red water without first touching the blue bits, which feels a lot like being covered by them.

          But if I put flowing lava on more flowing lava it no longer has the property of being hot it just becomes more lava?
