Coyote's ongoing work at a collabritave translation of a CGM 3711

[Don Coyote]

This is a project I and a few of my WMA acquaintances have undertaken.
Blurb from the Wiktenauer

The CGM 3711 is a German fencing manual created by Jörg Wilhalm Hutter in 1523.[1] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, Germany. The manuscript seems to be another redaction of the teachings of Johannes Liechtenauer, but unlike the glosses of the previous century, Hutter's work is fully illustrated. The latter part of the CGM 3711 seems to be a copy of the earlier, text-less Codex I.6.4°.5, which Hils described as Hutter's sketchbook.[citation needed] It also contains a section on Bloßfechten (based on Liechtenauer) not found in that manuscript.

We are specifically working through the first 51 plates, the illustrated section on unarmored longsword fencing.

The plate I am currently working on is 03v or 04r. The wiki has it labeled as 03v and is displaying the plate from Cod.I.6.2°.2.

And my current translation.

He stands in oberhau.
This is the Zornhau from the left shoulder.
This is the Zornhaw on the left side
and take the same from the left shoulder and
quickly cut long into the head and
cover and wind with it and leave but the Veller
run and hit but as before written stand
and hinder away
