Thx Stephane, I see by rather than from- no your English is great!
Stephane Lebrun 09 May 2015 11:53:44
No, I would understand : "Calypters small, the lower one is projecting over the upper one by 3/4" (my english is probably not the best).
oceanlis2000 09 May 2015 10:47:50
Thx Stephane p296 Seguy Calypters small, le thoracique saillant des 3/4 the lower is 3/4 the size or length of the upper? is that how you understand it
Stephane Lebrun 08 May 2015 21:20:06
I assume the sentence talk about calypters (cuillerons) : it means that the lower (thoracic) one is protruding.
oceanlis2000 07 May 2015 14:11:46
Can anyone help out with a translation for le thoracique saillant.. (its not thorax!) Thx
