Dear wsieber: I suspected as much, but could find no confirmation. I found a couple places that gave "damned". A short time ago there was very little I could find about French in Internet. Now Yahoo seems to have hadded a whole bunch of URL. I have also been able to find some German things that simply were not to be found a couple years ago. I still haven't been able to find that bit about Brunhilde squeezing Siegfried's hand so hard the blood gushed out from under his fingernaels. That's a lot of woman. Bill
