German Composition
1. Words which, in the English text and in the periphrases of the English text, are printed in Italics, must not be translated.
2. When two words are separated by a dash (—) in the Notes, they represent the first and last word of a whole clause in the English text, and the rendering refers to the clause thus indicated.
3. When two or more words are separated by dots (...) in the Notes, the rendering refers to those words only.
4. The sign = is used in the meaning of: ‘is equivalent to’.
5. As a rule, the periphrases are given in correct English construction.
