emerging natural fibers Explanation: austreten just means that fibers will penetrate the cover and emerge or escape from the mattress as an indication of static charges. You might know a better word now that you understand the meaning. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 Stunden (2010-03-03 16:25:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Reading the German text again, "austreten" seems a bit strange in this context unless fibers emerge through a cover or come off completely. Maybe what is meant is "sich aufstellen" or"aufrichten", in this case Birgitt's proposal is of course better. |
