Thanks! I often post suggestions in the discussion box if I'm not sure, or don't have the time or inclination to post a fully referenced answer. I'm quite happy for others to run with my ideas.

: I'm impressed. Milde Gabe = Almosen. Link to an old German dictionary: http://www.kruenitz1.uni-trier.de/xxx/m/km06180.htm Cf. https://law.justia.com/cases/pennsylvania/supreme-court/1965... Though, I'd stick to institution/foundation.
