Well, actually the correct name for the town is "Garmisch" nowadays (some 
touri information available on www.garmisch.de), "Germareskauue" (sic) back 
in 802, when the town was mentioned first in a document.

So it's not 100% sure what the spelling would have been during the time of 
creation of the VMS, but I doubt that the "s" towards the end would have 
been lost and reintroduced later.

While we're at it, "Germ" is an old term for yeast. (Probably related to 
english "germ"). So, perhaps the sequence should read "... so nim germich 
...", or "so take yeasted (something)". Maybe we're on the track of a donut 
recipe...? ;-)

Cheers,
