Hello,

> Drake was Hasselich(sp?), The human's name began with an E.(I think) I can't
Close, but no cigar. The spelling is Haesslich.

BTW, this gives me the chance to spell other words, which are not quiet
right in Shadowrun:

The BMW Bike is a Blitz and not a Blitzen, like in "Donner und Blitz"
The deeper meaning of "Nachtmachen" is a dark secret for me, never
heard of words like this in german.

What else... let me think ...
Can't remember anything else for the moment, I will be back, when
something find its way back in my mind.

bye,
Stefan

Both words exist in german, but the linking of them is ******
TWAP
It is even worse than my english

IMHO it looks cool for you anglos (no insult intented) to use german words
(but be convinced that most germans use english streetnames (inSR) such as
tomcat instead of Kater, flyer instead of Flieger, and so on )

Um, in the US we call him ``Blitzen.'' Yeah, it's not correct but it fits
the rhyme and meter.

Cute :).

Actually, that's one of the neat things about German, you can build new
words very easilly by compounding existing words.

Yes, and in the end you got words which are 80+ characters long.
Just take a german book for a specific issue you use for your study.
