• The action of casting the sword on top

• If anyone approaches you using strikes from below, conduct yourself in opposition in this way in order to use the mentioned action.
• When you have come near to your opponent, and they strike against you from below, first refuse to take out their forward attack, then observe carefully when their low strike draws near to you, and strike an extended strike from the right upper arm,
• then drive your opponent forward with the longer point in their face or chest, and come into contact with them, and if you keep the sword in the intended place your opponent will be unable to seize you below.
• If your opponent raises the sword away, from below to the stated place, and would take out your forward attack, keep the long edge of your sword connected firmly to your opponent's sword, then quickly fight against their nearest opening.

• To that point you must have noticed, if you strongly contacted their sword, and they try to strike you out of the fortification on the other side.
• Then you wound their head using the long edge, and work equally on both sides against the opening and also the earlier [antecedent ?head?].

93r a notes

• [^1]: the underlying sense of this is something staying in place often in a somewhat negative way: words stuck in throat; following too close behind, failing to break through, getting stuck during a race. (It also has non-negative senses.) It makes more sense now that we've read "the long sharp edge of your sword" as the subject of the verb, not the object.
• [^2]: "überlaufen" in relation to weapons means to attack [from above], and is synonymous with anfechten or schlagen, Grimm, vol. 23, col. 379. "Iniectio" means to throw, cast.
• Parallel construction, two targets, present in German
• organization:
  • 1-3: outline
  • 4-7: theoretical
  • 8-14: practical example
  • 15-18: second practical example
  • 19-23: third practical example
• [^3] German has shoulder here; Latin has "humero" instead of expected "brachio"
