*"Übermacht" or "Überbracht"? "Überbracht" would be the correct term.
Übermacht. He uses übermachen/Übermacht/Übermachung a number of times, and I'm thinking it must be old-fashioned. Neither you nor Google Translate know anything about it, but it would be hard even for me to mistake 'br' for 'm' 5 times.
...Yeah, Duden defines it as "veraltend: zukommen lassen, übersenden."
So that reading is correct Rokoko.
** You write "bey den" - in modern German, it's "beiden", Rokoko also allows "beyden", but either way, it's "both" Saxon princes, clearly.
Clearly. Fixed! Thank you, we make a great team. :D
*** "Campagnie" - could this also be "Compagnie", in which case maybe Leining is making a joke about marital companionship, especially if he and Fredersdorf are both married and have been since years, and Gentze is a newly wed?
It could easily be "Compagnie", and I went back and forth, because due to the missing mystery word, I was having trouble figuring out which one it was.
I'm going to have to run the mystery word by my former professor. I'm hoping we can keep the number of words I need to ask him about down to 5 or less.
I seem to recall various regiments were named after (male) members of the Royal family.
Yes, indeed.
Also, "attack on the Zisca mountain" - wasn't that where Heinrich made his name?
Sounds right, but I'd have to check to be sure.
Thank you for the teamwork! Fredersdorf's name is going to be cleared one day!
