Explanation:
Found the following, which fits your context, and the context I picked up in a Google search in Spanish, too.

(1) English, contrasting "buried" and "non-buried":

Great! I guess the subtlety of "enterrables" being
"that can be buried" as oppossed to just plain "buried" is

"untechnical" term as "buried" next to "valve."

Thanks again.
