Thank you for the help! I had an idea but neither my small Langescheidt
dictionary nor Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English had
this word written to me. Thank you, too, for the title, I'll try to get hold
of this book!

Witj a lot of greetings out of the warmth (I hate it by now because I cannot
make any use of it, one of my teeth has been extracted last friday and it is
not so well yet),

Anja
