Should the "600 ducats" part of the Rudolf story be dismissed for good?
#27
I asked ChatGPL, today's modern Oracle, and it told me:
Quote:Can you give me an English example of how the middle German word seldsam would have been used

Sure, here is an example of how the Middle German word "seldsam" could have been used in a sentence:
"Das ist ein seldsam Gewand, das ich noch nie gesehen habe. Es ist sehr selten und wertvoll."
This translates to: "That is a rare garment, I've never seen before. It's very uncommon and valuable."
In this example, the word "seldsam" is used to describe a garment as being rare and valuable. It is showing that the garment is not frequently encountered and that is of great worth.
It's important to note that this is a hypothetical example, as the word "seldsam" would have been used differently depending on the context and the time period in which it was used.

Quote:What were the meanings of the middle German word seldsam?


The Middle German word "seldsam" has several meanings, including:

Rare or uncommon: This meaning refers to something that is not frequently encountered or seen.
Strange or peculiar: This meaning suggests that something is unusual or out of the ordinary.
Precious or valuable: This meaning implies that something is valuable or of great worth.
Fine or excellent: This meaning refers to something that is of high quality or exceptional.
Distant or remote: This meaning implies that something is far away or located in a remote place.
It's important to note that Middle German is a historical language, and its meanings and usage may have evolved over time and vary based on context.



Either of those actually true?
