German term or phrase: Wolfsrute This word occurs in the children's book "Canis, der kleine weiße Wolf" by Torsten Kirstges. The context is that humans are trying to shoot the young wolf Canis, and the sentence says "Schnell kniff Canis seine buschige Wolfsrute ein und rannte davon."

philgoddard United States 15:46 Feb 1, 2021  In that case I would rewrite the text to match the picture. Ardith ASKER 15:13 Feb 1, 2021  Part of what's confusing is that the illustration in the book shows the wolf running away, but his tail is not tucked in, but rather is sticking straight out horizontally. Maybe I'm asking for too much in expecting the illustrations to correspond accurately to the text? philgoddard United States 15:00 Feb 1, 2021  Why do you think it says Wolfsrute, rather than Rute? Is it anything to do with the ambiguity of Rute? Kim Metzger Mexico 14:57 Feb 1, 2021  Und sogar der Schwanz wird zur Wolfsrute! https://de.finalfantasyxiv.com/blog/002187.html Automatic update in 00:
