Translator’s Note: The square brackets (‘[ ]’) indicate the placement of text by the translator to make the citation fully comprehensible in English whilst showing the literal translation and the amendments being made. Enquiring speakers of English may learn something about the structure of the Croatian language from this. If text is removed to make a quote more readable in English, the translator will use curled brackets (‘{ }’), substituting what had been removed elsewhere in the sentence, if necessary. These devices are only used in the translation of directly quoted statements in this article.
