Should the "600 ducats" part of the Rudolf story be dismissed for good?
#21
In German, this is regulated today by grammar.
Two things that belong together, like a pair of shoes, are capitalized pair.
For a smaller amount of anything so one writes paar lower case.
A pair of flies. In the case of the fairy tale "Seven at one stroke", a few flies meant 7.
Es bedeutet eine kleinere Menge von dem was man gewöhnlich gewohnt ist.
