Hi Bernie, Lars, and others -
Just for the record, SW 'aelg' (I use the German convention of ae
for the A-umlaut which does not render well in some e-mail)
is EN 'moose', that BIG animal with the shovel-like horns and the silly
piece of skin hanging from its chin. In translation, similar
sounding words in two languages which mean different things
are called "false friends". Sorry to be a stickler about this.
