deferred Explanation: Not being an expert in old German, but that's how I understand it: The payment for the wine is "resting", i.e like an IOU, or a credit, gestundet, deferred, suspended. As an expert for old English, you might come up with something more "Shakespearean" |

Reference: According to Grimmsche Wörterbuch Reference information: BERUHEN , quiescere, acquiescere, mhd. beruowen (aber wenig im gebrauch), Luther schrieb, mindestens anfangs, berugen. 1) die sinnliche vorstellung drückt lieber das einfache ruhen aus; beruhen ist ruhen, liegen bleiben, wie intr. beliegen, besitzen. auf eingereichtes gesuch wird in canzleien oft der bescheid ertheilt 'beruht', d. h. die sache hat ihr bewenden, es soll jetzt nichts darin geschehn. Grimm dates from the correct time period, and the legal sense may apply here. All other meanings of 'beruhen' in Grimm refer to 'beruhen auf' and not just the verb alone.
