Explanation:
To translate "assign" into Dutch is as difficult a task as to translate "snow" into greenlandish (there are at least 63 possible translations, only one is right!!! Which one is depending on the qualities of the snow!!!). I strongly suggest that the whole paragraph in which the word "assign" appears is posted!!!
