23 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +5
peer agreement (net): +5She accuses him of having siphoned off some money. Explanation: "Abzweigen" means to branch off. With money, it often means to earmark money for a specific purpose, but I get the idea here that he deviated the money for his own purposes. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-09 03:55:56 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I meant diverted not deviated. |
