: not according to medicinsk ordbog (Pilegaard) ISBN-87-02-03175-2 - page 30 column 1 - that is where it says agraf is a clip - My copy of Lindskog agrees with Pilegaards - See my response in my note to asker

ISBN 87-02-03175-2, good stuff, you should get yourself a copy. - Response: The ISBN I quoted is Pilegaard. The translation I proffered is confirmed by Pilegaard. The explanation I proffered is from Pilegaard. I can but conclude that you are bluffing.
