  -> ISBN 87-02-03175-2, good stuff, you should get yourself a copy. - Response: The ISBN I quoted is Pilegaard. The translation I proffered is confirmed by Pilegaard. The explanation I proffered is from Pilegaard. I can but conclude that you are bluffing.

Sven appears to be a bit confused. My ISBN number for Morton Pilegaards medicinske ordbog is the latest by Gyldendal ISBN 87-02-03175-2 on page 30 column 1 / and my medical from Lindskog is 87-02-03099-3 page 33 column 3 -

About Granny Smith - fruit is fruit.

disagree  Sven Petersson: Reckless imprecision. - Clarification: To use "clip" as translation is reckless imprecision. - About like translating "Granny Smith æble" with "fruit".

  -> not according to Lindskrog's medical dictionary nor according to Pilegaards medical dictionary - see my answer in my note
