A noun might be in front of or behind another noun. The word ‘apposition’ implies ‘to place a noun next to another noun to explain it’.

So, if you find a noun next to another noun that explains the other noun, you have an excellent example of a noun in opposition to another noun.

It seems to me that "have" doesn't mean something close to "hold as a possession".
What does it mean roughly?

Note the typo in the above quote – 'opposition' should be 'apposition'.
