Here are two sample sentences:
Die Dashte Margo (Wüste) deckt sich mit einer grossen Einmuldung die durch Längschwellen oder -aufsattelungen gegliedert ist...
Auf der linken Seite wird der Helmand-Fluss von einer Aufsattelung begleitet...."
Is it merely a saddle, a concave dip between two higher points? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
