Rfv-sense "angel". Doubt expressed at User talk:Kolmiel#Jahresendflügelfigur. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 05:31, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adelung states: "Opitz [a famous German poet] nennet an einem Orte die Engel [the angels] auf eine sehr seltsame Art, das himmlische Geflügel." But that should be himmlisches Geflügel and not just Geflügel, and it should mean the angels (collectively) and not just angel. -80.133.122.96 20:52, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
