Don't know what you mean by "mal-bra-smu-dotco!
{zbitisna} doesn't seem too bad.
Don't think that "cold" is typical Germanic: Italian "raffreddore", but Ger=
=3D=0D
man "Schnupfen" (=3Dzbitisna).
Something not too different from "cold" is "flu" (influenza), German maybe =
=3D=0D
"Erk=E4ltung" or more specific "Grippe"
