  -> Thank you Sindy.

agree  SJLD: agree as a literal translation but I would certainly reword to use the adjectival form "afferent" which is much more idiomatic in English

  -> Thank you SJLD, that's what I thought.

agree  Lianne Van De Ven: afferentie in Dutch is unusual too

agree  writeaway: it' afférent in French too. if the NL Dutch don't know the term, it's probably Belgian and derived from the French.
