87r a notes

• Note: no Latin equivalent for zufechten here
• two phrases for one concept-- near variants of the translated word. no parallel in german.
• No halves at all in the Latin
• Indes in the German, but weird indes (much less opponent action leading up to indes than usual)-- Latin still avoids the term but the clauses don't seem strangely ordered here (as they do other times german has indes). It's almost like the opponent is getting the indes here (choosing one of two paths in response to an attack, and then you have an answer for each of those)
• Are there other times Indes appears in the German and the Latin isn't messed up? (seems like no)
• Are there other times the opponent's actions aren't explicitly mentioned before indes?

4. in the mutual approach, place the left foot forward,
5. contact the sword with the right arm/shoulder,
6. and, if you foresee that you would strike an enemy, for whom you have longed,

19. and you can shape the wild by transversing equally from the highest strike possible.

parallel phrase (multiple targets), present in German but with different grammar and details
