Is "wimid" also above? Or what's the difference?


"Above" is "wikod".  "Wimid" is "on (the surface of), upon, in contact with and supported by", which is a limited subset of 'touching'.
The same applies to "wifud" (against, resting or up against, in contact with).

I couldn't find a simple equivalent of "touching", and I may have to invent a word just for it.
