Hi,

First, sorry for this late reply but my email server was down.

Here are some words starting with Z :

GERMAN - DUTCH - ENGLISH
zahmen - temmen, bedwingen - check, control, get under control (the gravity ?)
zeitenwende - keerpunt der tijden - turning point of time (?)
zeitlich - aards - earthly, terrestrial
zeppelin - zeppelin - Zeppelin [see below]
ziel - doel, eindpunt - aim, object
zink(n) - geheimteken - secret sign
zirkel - kring, club - club
zivil - civiel - civil
zundbar - ontbrandbaar - inflammable
zuwanderer - immigrant, nieuwgevestigde - immigrant

Zeppelin, F.A.A.H, count von Zeppelin, germany, *8-7-1838 - +8-3-1917.
He was a militaryman and constructor and between 1863 and 1865 he was an attache in the Union
army in the American war of succession. In America he saw air balloons. After 1890 he started
to design airships in Germany.

I think good words are zahmen, zirkel.

Regards,
WJ
