peer agreement (net): +1to trim / to border Explanation: Staffieren means to trim or to border. If you look at the few google hits for anstaffieren. It fits imho. Cheers Claudia -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-01 16:14:41 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another possibility would be to applicate or to sew on, that is when you fix some other material on top of a fabric. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-01 16:17:02 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I also found in the Langenscheidt Handwörterbuch (heavens knows why there and not in the Fachwörterbuch) fit out, trim, dress out (ausschmücken) and rig out. I\'ll check a few others. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-01 16:20:31 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Forget the dress out, that is of course \"ausstaffieren). But rig out or even to rig, might help. |
