peer agreement (net): +1was seated Explanation: ... which was seated at the base ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-06-03 08:34:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think for sediment, etc., the verb is κατακαθίζω, not επικαθίζω. Here for επικάθησε you could just say 'sat'. I suggested 'was seated' to indicate that the sump was located at a specific site. |

settled Explanation: Aπ' ότι καταλαβαίνω η ελαιολεκάνη "επικάθησε" στη βάση της μηχανής και έπρεπε να την αποσυνδέσουν κ να την επανασυνδέσουν για να λυθεί το πρόβλμα; Tο settled μια χαρά μου φαίνεται. Αν την είχε τοποθετήσει κάποιος άλλος θα έλεγα was placed. |
