 INTRODUCTION
According to an estimate of the German-
Language Association, the German language has
today about one million words. Some 300,000 are
specialized terms of science. Chemistry alone has
over 100,000 words, Electrical Engineering 50-
60,000. (Die Zeit, 16.8.1963)
No ONE would claim that any scientific and technological dictionary
contains all the terms and expressions that the user may find in modern
texts ; least of all would I make such a claim for this book, the produc-
tion of which was in some measure determined by the price and format.
Its purpose is simply to provide a basic spread of scientific and tech-
nological vocabulary, ranging over the main fields of pure and applied
science and including medicine (particularly anatomy and physiology),
commerce and industry.
While the range is certainly ambitious, it does in fact collect together
in one volume the most common terms which have accumulated from
my own practical teaching and translating in and outside the Univer-
sity of Birmingham, with its diverse departments, all of which have
called on me for translation services from time to time, or for inter-
preting at specialized conferences. This work of collecting these terms
continued for some fifteen years, until a halt had to be called to keep
the book to a manageable size. The idea was not to add to the existing
volumes of Webel or De Vries, or the three-volume Hoyer-Krenter, nor
to emulate the two large physics and chemistry dictionaries already
published by Pergamon Press, but to offer a practical basic vocabulary
within the reach of the undergraduate or research student.
A list of special glossaries and dictionaries, irregular verbs, and other
relevant information has been provided for two reasons : to enable
librarians, the expanding science and engineering departments, and the

v
VI INTRODUCTION

translator panels in universities and colleges and in industry and com-

merce to build up their own special library of reference books; and
to refer the user of this small volume to special books where it will,
by reason of its limitations, be inadequate.
With some basic grammar, the Notes on Compound Verbs, Prepo-
sitions, and Word-building should enable the user to find his way
through the mazes of German scientific word-compounding. I have
also added a list of some Conversion Tables and a table of Irregular
Verbs. Letters added after an entry are intended to serve as "signposts"
of special meanings in the different branches of science and technology.
Words often used in a scientific context, but not scientific words in
themselves, have in many cases been included to save the time of the
translator. A List of Abbreviations is therefore also included.
I should like here to express my thanks to all who helped with their
specialized knowledge, colleagues from inside and outside the uni-
versity, specialists in industry (I.B.M. is only one of many), but above
all my close friends in the Faculty of Science and in Midland industry,
and the relevant libraries. I am also indebted to the great English and
German publishing houses who commissioned translation work over
so wide a field, as to enable me to build up this wide dossier in the
relatively short period of fifteen years.
Preoccupied with the need for cutting out rather than for adding,
I feel acutely aware of the gaps in the dictionary, the overflowing of
material over some pages which will tax the patience of editor and
printers alike. Of course, I assume full responsibilities arising from the
shortcomings. If the book meets with the practical approval of users in
general terms, I shall be relieved indeed and amply repaid for my long
labours.
A final word of special appreciation must go to the editor of Perga-
mon Press and her adviser, Mr. Edwards, for their numerous sugges-
tions which have greatly helped the shaping of the book. They will
appreciate more than anyone else that the material left out would fill
yet another volume, quite as large as this one.

 NOTE ON C O M P O U N D VERBS

GERMAN compound words, especially verbs, deserve a special intro-

ductory note, for they abound in modern scientific and technical prose.
For practical purposes we distinguish, for recognition and analysis,
Separable and Inseparable Compounds.

1. Separable compounds are made up by verb roots and most pre-

positions, and separation takes place in the main sentence:
(a) ankommen, to arrive ich komme im Laboratorium an
aufschreiben, write down ich schreibe die Formel auf
weggehen, to go away ich gehe um drei Uhr weg
(b) No Separation takes place in the infinitive:
ankommen, aufschreiben, weggehen
(c) Or in the past participle, with the syllable GE being interpolated :
angekommen, aufgeschrieben, weggegangen
(d) Or if the verb is at the end, in subordinate clauses:
wenn er ankommt if he arrives, when he arrives
weil ich die Formel aufschreibe since I write down the formula
daß ich pünktlich weggehe that I leave (go away) punctually

2. Inseparable compounds. A L L INSEPARABLE COMPOUNDS HAVE THE

ACCENT ON THE VERB ROOT SYLLABLE, NEVER ON THE PREFIX.
Inseparable compound verbs are made up with only a few pre-
positions, easily memorized, and in most cases with Prefixes which
are never found on their own. These are so strongly linked with their
verbs that in many cases the uncompounded, simple forms have died
out in modern use. These prefixes, while having no distinct meanings,

vu
Vili NOTE ON COMPOUND VERBS

confer an idea, a "flavour", often a degree of intensity, on the verb

so compounded :
er- denotes a beginning action :
wachen, to wake erwachen, to wake up
blicken, to gaze erblicken, to catch sight of
kennen, to know erkennen, to recognize
*ent- denotes separation or development from a point:
entfernen, to remove
entkommen, to escape
entleeren, to empty
entwickeln, to unfold, develop
*emp- before f. :
empfehlen, to recommend
empfangen, to receive
be- (cf. English believe, beset, behave) denotes a concrete meaning from
a general one and enables a verb to take a direct object:
sprechen, to speak besprechen, to discuss
suchen, to seek besuchen, to visit
handeln, to act behandeln, to treat
ver- can confer various "meanings":
(a) Completion or excessive action:
verändern, to change
verarbeiten, to manufacture
vergießen, to shed, spill
verjüngen, to rejuvenate
(b) Destruction :
verblassen, to pale, die
verblühen, to wither
verbluten, to bleed to death
verschmachten, to thirst, pine, die of thirst
(c) Sometimes a weak-ended "VOR" :
verbeugen, to curtsey ^/cA ...)
verleihen, to confer
versetzen, to displace, pawn, move
verteilen, to distribute
 NOTE ON COMPOUND VERBS IX

(d) Helps to make up "officially emphatic" and pompous-sounding

words:
veranlassen, to cause, make someone act
veranschaulichen, to illustrate, make clear
zer- confers the idea of "extreme" action, usually destructive:
brechen, to break zerbrechen, to crush, smash
springen, to spring zerspringen, to burst, explode
treten, to tread, step zertreten, to crush by treading on
Trümmer (pl.) zertrümmern, to shatter
ge- forms new verbs from existing ones, usually intensifying the existing
meaning:
brauchen, to need gebrauchen, to use, utilize
frieren, to freeze gefrieren, to freeze solid
hören, to hear gehören, to belong to
rinnen, to flow, run gerinnen, to congeal, coagulate, clot
stehen, to stand gestehen, to confess, admit, own up to
miß- (cf. Engl. mis-) denotes something wrong or amiss:
achten, to respect mißachten, to ignore, show disrespect
brauchen, to need mißbrauchen, to abuse, make bad use of
handeln, to act mißhandeln, to illtreat, mishandle
verstehen, to understand mißverstehen, to misunderstand

Also a few prepositions can form inseparable compounds.

Since also separable compounds exist with the same prepositions,
care must be taken, since meanings vary and so does the accent:
Separable (accent on preposition) Inseparable (accent on verb)
durchbrennen, to burn through durchbrennen, to bolt, decamp
hinterbleiben, to lag behind hinterbleiben, to survive
hintergehen, to go to the rear hintergehen, to cheat, defraud
hinterlassen, to leave behind one hinterlassen, to leave, bequeath
unterhandeln, to negotiate
unterlaufen, to occur
unterstehen (sich), to dare
vollbringen, to accomplish
vollziehen, to execute, carry out
X NOTE ON COMPOUND VERBS

widerlegen, to refute
widerraten, to counsel against
widersprechen, to contradict
willfahren, to do someone's will,
obey
Also: gutschreiben, to credit

It may help to remember that in cases where the prepositions

DURCH, UM, ÜBER, UNTER appear as prefixes with emphasis of the place
they express, the verb is separable:
durchdringen, get through (by force), but: durchdringen, to
penetrate, permeate
übergießen, to pour over, but: übergießen, to cover, glaze, etc.
übersetzen, to cross over, row across, but: übersetzen, to translate,
transfer
umschlingen, to wind round, ensnare, but: umschlingen, to
embrace

Compounds with nouns, adjectives, adverbs: These are treated as

separable compounds:
achtgeben, to pay heed, attention (Acht = Achtung)
auffordern, to request
festlegen, to fix (fest, firm), determine
gewährleisten, to guarantee (Gewähr, warrant)
gutschreiben, to write to one's credit, credit
heimkehren, to return (Heim, home)
irreführen, to mislead (irre, astray)
loslassen, to let go (los, loose, free)
standhalten, to stand up to
stattfinden, to take place
teilnehmen, to take part
wertschätzen, to esteem (Wert, worth)
wiederkommen, to come again, return
willfahren, to do one's will, grant someone a wish
Note: wiedersehen (auf Wiedersehen), to see again: Separable
wiederholen (fetch again), to repeat: Inseparable
 NOTE ON COMPOUND VERBS xi
