Discussion

Steve Thomasson Feb 26, 2009:
Agreed with Birgit. We can't even fully agree on whether it's something to do with the handle or the tip, or if there could have been a spelling error involved (I initially thought "Pumpe" but 'm' is surely too far away?)
BirgitBerlin Feb 26, 2009:
I would try to ask the customer/agency to provide clarification/a picture, rather than guess!
Jutta Wappel Feb 26, 2009:
I was thinking along the same lines as Anne-Marie - maybe it's some kind of gimmick, where the handle is in the shape of a doll???
Frances Bryce (asker) Feb 26, 2009:
Could well be - I am finding all sorts of different applicator tips..... some are sponge, some look more rubbery and in all different shapes
Steve Thomasson Feb 26, 2009:
I'm totally guessing but instead of a fine brush it may be more of a small sponge at the end of the applicator (thinking laterally from the other meaning of Puppe = pupa). Only a guess though.
Anne-Marie Grant (X) Feb 26, 2009:
I'm wondering if it's something to do with the handle rather than the tip - something to grip onto to steady your hand?
Frances Bryce (asker) Feb 26, 2009:
Unfortunately not.
Jutta Wappel Feb 26, 2009:
Do you have any idea what this looks like?

....rounded tip (Kuppe)

Declined
The German word 'Kuppe' would seem to fit more accurately in these sentences - and would definitely make more sense....
Maybe there has been a misunderstanding through a typo or the text being misprinted through a format conversion?
Example sentence:

Applicator with rounded tip

Note from asker:
I thought of this but it seems unlikely as there are 2 separate occurrences and the document has not undergone formatting
Something went wrong...
