German term

Lyralochung

German to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Shoes
I always come across this term when translating stuff on shoes - it refers to a decorative punched pattern on shoes, but I forget how I translated it in the past. I did some research and found on that Lyra is actually a leather company, so maybe that is related. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to translate this (I guess it could be Lyra punching, but I'm not convinced).

@Sarah: I believe you have to contact the moderators to reopen it and, possibly also require valhalla55's consent
Sarah Downing (asker) Nov 1, 2008:
Reopening Could someone please reopen this question for me. I didn't mean to close it in the first place - urrggh! - but merely to comment on one of the answers. I didn't want to close it either and am still waiting for more answers. Thank you very much!
Stephen Sadie Nov 1, 2008:
With David on this interesting question, you should really reopen it
David Moore (X) Nov 1, 2008:
Sarah, you may have been too quick off the mark this time; if you look up "brogue" in the dictionary, it is a leather shoe "typically decorated with punched holes", so the term "broguing" is incorrect.

neutral David Moore (X) : Remembering that "Wikipedia", as good as it is overall, is still mostly contributions from the likes of us - and we make mistakes too, don't we - it must be treated with some caution. The dictionaries at my command don't recognise "broguing" for example.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I just found this myself too and also found a past translation in which I have translated this as brogued punching, but I think it is a type of broguing - just not sure which. "
