DICTIONARY
I've been trying to keep the language in a way that would make my old
English teacher proud. I hope one day she reads this... It is however
possible that the spelling- and grammar-police might find something to
put their finger on. If you do, please e-mail me, and I'll rectify it.
Several component names differ, in similar languages. A small list might
be of assistance...
One of my favourites is the German component name for the little eight
millimetre bolt joining the driveshaft to the hub on an Opel Senator A.
"Befestigungsschraube-für-befestigung-der-hinterachswelle-am-hinterachswellenflansch"
