96r b smoothed English

• But if the enemy attacks/runs in towards the right side with arms lifted in this way,
• then you place the sword under below his sword hilt, after turning the edge of the sword back into the arm, and lift firmly.
• While you lift, transfer the pommel below and move toward the left side of the adversary.
• In so doing, turn the long edge from where it was to the top of the enemy's arms, as in a slice, and you can drive the enemy back.

96r b notes

• in line 2, German has short edge but Latin has long edge. The action might more or less work the same with either?

96r c smoothed English

• REGARDING THE TWO ANGLES of throwing the sword upward

• It's important to note that THESE angles are not different in any way from the Plow on both sides, and you must observe:
  • whether the adversary holds their sword strongly or loosely,
  • during blows and also stabs,
  • also during the first flashing movement of the sword.
• And also know to practice the four wrappings, and out of those you can form any single strike, puncture, or cutting-in from above.

96r c notes

• [^1]: superinjicio: to throw/hurl upward or apply upward
• [^2]: passive periphrastic?! http://dcc.dickinson.edu/grammar/latin/forms-participle
• Maybe superiniectio here is an attempt to clear up the "Pflug, hanging [away] from the ground" thing?
• this ends with a list of the drey wonder
• German mentions Fühlen but Latin doesn't; Latin also reverses the order of the list here.
• the flashing of the swords probably refers to "bannd des schwerts" in German-- binding of the swords
