Max Wheeler - 28/May/06 07:37 AM Add note to Eng-Cat. for Catalans that a hallmark is literally 'a mark used at Goldsmiths' Hall (and by the UK assay offices) for marking the standard of gold, silver, and platinum' (Reader's Digest/Oxford Complete Wordfinder (1993))

Linda Oxnard - 01/Jun/06 05:25 PM A good note to add. However: a. I'm not sure if we can include a definition from a published source (even with the source mentioned)? b. The note needs to be in Catalan and I, for one, have absolutely no idea what 'assay offices' are in Catalan (assay = assaig? assaig - Anàlisi qualitativa simple, feta per mitjà de reaccions i de tècniques simples i breus) If someone provides an acceptable explanatory note in Catalan I'll add it.
