peer agreement (net): +5incumplidor // si Dios falta a / incumple las promesas Explanation: "Forfeit" tiene dos sentidos ya obsoletos: transgredir e incumplir. En este caso se trata del segundo: Estos sentidos de "forfeit" ya eran obsoletos en 1913, cuando se publicó el Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary: "For"feit, v. i. 1. To be guilty of a misdeed; to be criminal; to transgress. [Obs.] 2. To fail to keep an obligation. [Obs.] I will have the heart of him if he forfeit. Shak." http://machaut.uchicago.edu/?resource=Webster's&word=forfeit... Está claro que en el texto que nos ocupa, "forfeiter" está relacionado con la segunda de estas acepciones. Así pues, es literalmente "incumplidor" de promesas; pero creo que sería preferible expresarlo con un verbo: "si Dios falta a las promesas". |
