ruhig
German to English

Offenbar gibt es im Deutschen diesen Ausdruck als Gegensatz zu "Das Hold arbeitet" (knackt, etc.) Habe schon 'arbeiten' angefragt. Muss ich das umschreiben oder gibt es ein Fachwort dafuer im Englischen?

Comment: "David, you answered already my first question about 'arbeiten'. Thank you for your detailed explanation. They use the expression 'ruhig' as opposed to wood that still "works/settles". Supposedly 'ruhig' wood is better than 'working' wood. Would you have a word in this context for 'ruhig'?"
