So if Melanchthon began to talk about the signs of the zodiac and aspects, and explained Luther's success by his having been born under the sign of the Sun, then Luther would exclaim, "I don't think much of your Sol.

Finally, I may add that the prefix apa, in the present tense of the verb cut, is, perhaps, the same affix eipa in the present tense ...
