Dear Ralf, Thanks for correcting my mistake. I was mixing up the verb with the noun, die Begier (desire, longing).
Best wishes, Stewart. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of R.

Just for the records: there's no such word as "begieren" - modern german verb is "begehren" (↗ mhd. 'gêren').
