Here Are The Suggested Rules of the Game:
1. Please play on the most recent correct post.
2 Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.
3. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.
4. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a," "an," or "the").
5. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title, e.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes," and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty."
6. The repeated word must be in the title as shown in a LT library listing, or on the title page of the book. A sub-title or a series name can be included if the sub-title or series name is included in the title of a LT library listing, or is printed on the title page of the book.
7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two, e.g., "thunder-clouds," and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.
8. No repeats on current thread.
9. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.
10. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an HTML link.

I think we're going astray of Rule 6 in the posting of titles in dual languages.
In #192, is the title listed in both languages in either the LT listing or on the title page? If it is not, then #193 is an incorrect post.
If the title in #192 is only in English, then "Beneath" and "Wheel" are the only words that can be played on.

It started with 187 when Garten was changed into garden. There are biligual editions of Hesse's works - so the title page may give both titles.
So you want to go on from 186?

#186 appears to be the most recent correct post.
199rolandperkins
"In 192 is the title listed in both languages...?"
Yes, LT does have a listing for both the German title Unterm Rad and the English title (if thatʻs what your question meant). I was anticipating a play on the English title, as more likely, but not ruing out a play on the German. So I donʻt agree* that ONLY "beneath" and "wheel" could be played on.
*For what my (dis)agreement is worth. I donʻt consider the writer of th previous post to be the referee of the next

Just my opinion.
202mirrordrum
//i'd like to suggest that we stick to rules 5 & 6 as written for clarity and consistency. thus the word played must be spelled exactly the same as the word played on. if we can't use, e.g., 'color' and 'colour' interchangeably then we shouldn't be allowed to translate words from one language to another unless the title posted provides such a translation.
i'm playing off of #186 just to get us going again and then later tonight i'm starting a new thread to keep the load time reasonable.
