This is about a lawsuit regarding a manufacturing process -- the description of the background facts include the sentence:
"patentó un procedimiento que, por efecto de la reserva al SPE, se ciñó al procedimiento..."
I cannot find anywhere the translation of the verb "cinarse"
Suggestions? Please?

Hazel Whiteley
: Yes, the meaning is "stuck" or, more formally, "adhered to" (the Spanish verb is "ceñirse")

Nelida Kreer
: In the register of the context, I would use "adhered to". However, I wonder: "procedure" and not "process", maybe?

| Thanks Christian, I selected your answer, but I don't know how to award you the 4 points -- I tried but nothing happened, probably because another answer was peer-selected. My fault for responding so late, but as I told another answerer, I could not open this page until I switched to another browser. Thanks again! |
