to whet
Dies wetze scharf dein Schwert, verwandle Gram in Zorn.
Be this the whetstone of your sword. Let grief convert to anger! Blunt not the heart, enrage it!
Jetzt wetzt er das Messer, es schneid' schon viel besser ... bald wird er drein schneiden, wir müssen's erleiden.
He whets his knife today, sharp for the foray. Soon he will shear a path. And we must bear his wrath.
Was wetzest du so eifrig da dein Messer?
Why do you whet your knife so earnestly?
