S

S once

S

OCR-corrupted fragment; untranslatable as it stands, and left as-is in the translation too.

Printer's typo: 'ldee' should read 'Idee' (lowercase L misread for capital I).

sammenhæng

state of affairs once

Idiom: 'det har et sørgeligt Sammenhæng (med X)' = 'there is a sad state of affairs (regarding X)', literally 'it has a sorrowful connection.'

sjælden

seldom; rare; rarer 4 times

sjeldent, sjelden, sjednere

sjednere is a printer's slip for sjeldnere, the comparative of sjelden ('rare'); the verb er from the first half of the sentence carries over here.

sk

printer's mark; * twice

sk

symbol; non-lexical (typographic mark)

sk / ke appear to be OCR-garbled remains of a section-break ornament (the translation shows '* * *'), not Danish words.

Abbreviation for 'Skilling', a small Danish coin; the numeral '4' before it is not tokenized in this parse.

skjult

hidden; concealment; concealed 11 times

skjult, Skjulte

'Det/den Skjulte' ('the hidden/concealment') is a recurring technical term in this Problema, opposed to 'det Aabenbare' (the manifest/revealed).

skrige

Archaic 19th-century plural present form (the subject Trælle/Frøerne is plural); modern Danish would use 'skriger'.

Skrælling

Skrælling was historically a Norse term for the peoples of Greenland/North America; in Danish (and here) it is a derogatory word for a puny, weak person.

slippe, slipFrygt, per, slipper

verb, present, indicative, active (token corrupted by an inserted page header); verb, active, infinitive; verb, present, indicative, active

OCR artifact: a running page header ('Frygt og Bæven. 3. Udg.') was scanned into the middle of the verb 'slipper' (lets go/releases), splitting it into this fragment ('slip') and 'per' below; the intervening tokens (og, Bæven, Udg, å) are page-header noise, not part of the sentence.

smal

trifling once

smal

Idiom: 'en smal Sag' (lit. 'a narrow matter') = an easy, trifling matter.
