English to German translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / car parts
English term or phrase: paner
Translating an English/German list of car parts into Norwegian, I find the word 'paner' in both languages. I am tempted to dismiss it as a typo (panel, banner, power, paper) or an unsuccessful abbreviation (panorama, pan-European), but just in case: Does anyone have a better idea?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Appreciate the effort, but what I have is a list of auto parts where 'paner' appears as both an English and German word, and my job is to find out what it is so I can translate it to Norwegian. Guess I'll have to dismiss it as a typo...


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Dr. Georg Schweigart: "pane": good idea! But then, the Geman "paner" is an untranslated English word. - Maybe also "cutter"? (pane = "Ausschnitt" in German)
