Zeugnis Testimony
(veraltet) im Rechtswesen die Zeugenaussage ( "Du sollst nicht falsch
Zeugnis reden wider deinen nächsten", Zehn Gebote ), (Obsolete) in the legal
system to testify ( "Thou shalt not speak false witness against thy coming,"
Ten Commandments);
False witness against someone; that's the venal, Ten Commandment sin, not
the usual, simple defensive lies that most everyone tells to protect
themselves and others.
Hey, all you Yiddish/German speakers: Zug(t) nischte! = Don't say! (Sorry,
my Yiddish is rusty; my German is from my knowledge of Yiddish)
