El resultado puede ser una fragilidad en caliente (interdendritic threads of segregate which are due either to defective design of the mould profile, or to the melt being teemed too hot and therefore giving large dendrites: the result may be hot brittleness), teniendo debidamente en cuenta las películas procedentes de aquellos países cuyas creaciones cinematográficas son menos conocidas (giving due consideration to films from countries whose cinematographic works are less well known), vaca donadora (giving animal, giving cow), diferir la decisión de aprobación de la gestión (to postpone the decision giving discharge).
