Talk:Frevel

Outrage gives this as a German translation, but my dictionary translates Frevel as "sin" or "crime". Kappa 17:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

It's outrage or crime (I wouldn't translate it with sin but it's a very old German word [I've never used, I think] and so the dictionary is probably right). Greetings Pill δ 17:18, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I added the "crime" meaning to clarify it doesn't mean "resentful anger". Kappa 17:25, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I think it's right so now. Greetings Pill δ 17:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, it does mean sin. It's usually used in a religious sense: a crime against God or something holy. The German entry gives the synonyms Sakrileg and Ketzerei.
