Calques or simply bad translations?

[edit]

performing sexual abuses against members of Christian covens?

As far as I am aware, Christians do not form into covens. That would be witches --whether actual Pagans or the fictional kind Christians have sexy nightmares about, is a matter of perspective.

This is a hugely interesting article; but the translations into English are so bad, the reader is confused as much as intrigued. And lines of Basque text left completely untranslated are just beyond the pale!

The page isn't great, yeah ... only so much time in the day. Regarding covens, I guess this is a poor translation but relates to the late Christianisation of the Basque Country and presumably a Christian minority in a non-Christian population. Personally I like the idea of a Christian coven but we should change the wording. I don't know where it comes from so I can't check the source but I'll go with 'groupings' for now.
