Is the following correct as per "an d." or "and d." "Staats-Eisenbahn über den Semmering: Resultate d. Erprobung d. Kettenkuppelung an d. Preis-Lokomotive Bavaria"Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 22:25, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- Title is not English, and I assume it's correct because "and" is not a word in German --BurritoBazooka (talk) 23:36, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- It's short for "an der", "on the". Huon (talk) 23:40, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for the complete explanation. In the other instances that "d." appeared I treated it as is since it seem to be so common in the same language. So German "an d" should always appear with a "d." instead of a plain "d"?Srednuas Lenoroc (talk) 23:44, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- German abbreviation rules are somewhat tricky, but it should always be "d." for "der", yes. Huon (talk) 23:59, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
