DGAP-News: Rickmers bond: Early closure of subscription period on Wednesday evening

The Germans are famous for many things; fine motors cars and excellent sausage, for example. But it`s their fondness for multisyllabic, compound words that holds the most fascination for linguists. In fact, the Germans have even cheekily created their own compound word to describe compound words: bandwurmwrter. It means "tapeworm words."

Now, it would seem one of the longest words ever strung together in German is being tossed not because its unpronounceable, which it most definitely is for non-Germanic speakers, but because it's simply obsolete.

Rindfleischetikettierungsberwachungsaufgabenbertragungsgesetz is a term given to a 1999 law that regulated the testing and labelling of beef.

In a close-to-literal translation, in English the term means, Beef labelling supervision duties delegation law and was coined following the BSE-mad cow scare. While it wasnt found in any German dictionaries, the term was used in official government documents.

The 63-letter word was such a mouthful that it had to be shortened to RkReAG easier to type, perhaps, but no more pronounceable.

Now, the German Press Agency dpa reports that a regional parliament has repealed the beef labelling law, following the lifting of a European Union recommendation. So Rindfleischetikettierungsberwachungsaufgabenbertragungsgesetz is old news.

Now the search is on for the next longest German word.

The longest word in the standard German dictionary is Kraftfahrzeug-Haftpflichtversicherung which is the word for motor vehicle liability insurance. But at 36 letters, its rather puny. Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften, a touch longer at 39 letters, is the languages longest non-dictionary word. It means an insurance company that provides legal protection.

At 80 letters, the longest word ever composed in German is "Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizittenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft," meaning, the "Association for Subordinate Officials of the Head Office Management of the Danube Steamboat Electrical Services." But its a coinage of strung together more for fun than necessity and it's not found in any dictionary.

ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. It's been two long weeks since the small city of Zephyrhills learned that a $590 million Powerball ticket was sold in a supermarket here.

No one expected the winner to come forward in the first days after the announcement. After all, curious residents reasoned, the person might need a few days to absorb the shock or to consult with financial advisers.

But then a week passed, and more, and now folks are so anxious to know the winner's identity they could jump out of their skin.

Being in a small town, everybody knows everybody and in some cases, everybody's business, said Dave Walters, a longtime reporter at the Zephyrhills News community newspaper. It's hard to keep a secret in this town, but this is one of the biggest mysteries we've had in a long, long time.

Zephyrhills, population 13,337, is about 30 miles northeast of downtown Tampa. Like many Florida communities, it features a small, old-timey downtown strip where restaurants, gift shops and clothing stores sit under a canopy of oak trees. Around the city's perimeter, there's the suburban sprawl of big box stores. It was in that sprawl, in a Publix supermarket, where the winning ticket was sold.

Rumors were swirling about who the winner could be: Publix deli employees, single moms working at Wal-Mart even the cousin of a friend of a guy who lived clear in another county.

Anybody who did not show up for work on that Monday was considered to be the lottery winner, Walters said. If you had the flu and didn't show up for work, everyone thought you were the lottery winner. If you took a personal day or a sick day, they thought you had won the lottery.

The city is known around the Tampa Bay area for a few things: as the source for bottled spring water, as an area where people like to skydive and as the home to several mobile home parks that cater to the elderly.

Joe Abed, who owns Manolo's Italian restaurant in the historic downtown, thinks the ticket was sold to a senior citizen.
