| sklavisch *eingeschlagene*Wilde felled game Explanation: According to my dictionary, einschlagen can mean to fell (as in a tree). So fallen game or felled game I expect, would that make sense with the rest of the context? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2008-01-15 19:58:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Scrap "felled" - no, more like "a tamed wild animal" or "a broken wild animal" . |
