Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #33Zitat von Bimbam im Beitrag #32 Definition of harken verb from the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary harken verb /ˈhɑːkən/ /ˈhɑːrkən/ (also hearken) [intransitive] (old use) harken (to somebody/something) to listen to somebody/something Taking this into account your phrase makes no sense, BIMBAMs statement on the contrary was probably clear for everyone... |

Zitat von Hubert im Beitrag #34Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #33Zitat von Bimbam im Beitrag #32 Right - corrected in the quote above, but not too far off. (And in theory, one can drive those ponies produced by the motorcycle engine as horsepower.) hark back verb harked back; harking back; harks back Definition of hark back intransitive verb 1: to turn back to an earlier topic or circumstance 2: to go back to something as an origin or source Hark Back Got Its Start in Hunting Hark, a very old word meaning "listen," was used as a cry in hunting. The master of the hunt might cry "Hark! Forward!" or "Hark! Back!" The cries became set phrases, both as nouns and verbs. Thus, a "hark back" was a retracing of a route by dogs and hunters, and "to hark back" was to turn back along the path. From its use in hunting, the verb soon acquired its current figurative meanings. In the early 20th century, English speakers began using "hearken back" and its variant "harken back" synonymously with the verb "hark back." (Like "hark," "hearken" and "harken" can mean "listen.") And since the 1980s, there's been another development: "harken" can now be used alone to mean "hark back." First Known Use of hark back 1824, in the meaning defined at sense 1 “Hark back.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hark%20back.
