Apply the `margin` attribute to the `fixed` element and `z-index: 1`

Has a list and a comment field. The comments field is fixed to the bottom of the page. When the list is long, page scrolling is applied.

I want the bottom of the list to always be some vertical distance from the top of the comment field. Of course, I can apply the margin-bottom attribute to the .meaning class (which forms a list), but if the comment field contains 2 or 3 lines of text (i.e., for setting margin Said it was too high).

So, in my opinion, it makes more sense to set the margin-top to the comment field. However, perhaps due to the z-index: 1 attribute of the comment field, margin-top doesn't work either.

Here is the JS Bin, just in case. 

      .meaning {
        list-style-type: none;
        counter-reset: item;
        hyphens: auto;
        font-size: calc(0.7em + 1.5vw);
      }

      .meaning > li {
        position: relative;
      }

      .meaning > li::before {
        content: counter(item);
        counter-increment: item;
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
        text-align: center;
        margin-left: calc(-0.7em - 2.5vw);          
      }

      .meaning-word {
        margin-top: 50px;
      }

      .sentences {
        list-style-type: none;
        padding-left: 0;
        font-size: calc(0.7em + 1.5vw);
        margin-top: 30px;                   
      }

      .sentences > li.sentence-en {

      }

      .sentences > li.sentence-de {
        margin-top: 5px;
      }

    Use position: sticky instead, then you can easily set margin-top since the element stays in the flow

    .meaning {

  counter-increment: item;

  margin-left: calc(-0.7em - 2.5vw);
