Changes made: for each play word, the first or second numbered meaning of
its first German entry was taken (never one marked colloquial, slang,
rude, derogatory, figurative, archaic or the like), cut at its first ";"
and, when still too long, at its last relative clause that fits two lines
of the spotlight; notes in brackets before or after it were left out.
Definitions that were unsuitable for a stream, pointed at another sense,
or too long are left out.
