Thanks Bernd and Koen for explanation of all those corrigenda not easy to follow for those who are not German speakers.
I have a question.
In the composite word "geisjunge", what part is the subject - the "geis" or the "junge"? I mean, the supposed adjective "geisjunge" would designate something related to a young goat (geis) or something related to a young man ("junge") related to goats (a shepherd, that is). Or it can be either way and we cannot tell?
