Sorry y'all, yonder actually has a definition, it isn't just another word for "over there" - HERE is near the speaker, and can be also far from the listener but doesn't have to; THERE is near the listener but far from the speaker, and YONDER is far from both speaker and listener. So I am here, you are there, and they are yonder.
