| ~ Fromm, Gut und Rein trei Edelstein ~ | |
| Here are two good sayings on an etched stein marked "JWR 947 Germany" by J. W. Remy ca. 1900. Note the word "trei" = "drei" = "three" in English. The equivalence of "th", "t" and "d" are seen constantly within German and English cognates. | |
|
Fromm, Gut und Rein trei Edelstein. Ein Trunk in ehren kann niemand verwehren. |
Pious, good and pure (are) three precious stones (noble virtues). A drink in honor can no one forbid. |
