reason

My comment:

I suggest the German fderal court draws a conclusion? Or the court reasons by analogy? Or the court orders to withdraw something from the markets? So it is either "reason" or "draw", "withdraw" or "draught", depending on the context.

My comment:

this is not just an incomplete sentence but only half the verb.

... zieht ... WAS ???

A missing object does NOT mean 'half a verb'. What is probably missing is an auxiliary PRONOUN from a weak verb. For example, adding a missing 'aus' at the end would make it 'ausziehen'. This is not a missing 'what'.

Sorry, been a long day. I meant a missing preposition, not a pronoun.

I don't expect people asking a question here to have studied, neither linguistics nor this programme in detail. You always complain about not-native answers/answerers. Why do you offer a lesson in German? The Bundesgerichtshof will - most probably - not "zieh" anything "aus" ... Fact is that this sentence is incomplete. No doubt about that.

Since you are trying to teach us English, and state that 'was' is a half a verb - which is manifest nonsense, because it would be the object that's missing in that case, not half a verb - you have no leg to stand on. If you can't understand the simple point that my example of 'aus' was just that, an example, then it's hardly my fault.

I found the following sentence on the Internet: "Auch der Bundesgerichtshof ist in diesem Zusammenhang restriktiv und zieht selbst bei weniger einschneidenden Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen Laufzeiten von mehr als fünf Jahren nicht oder jedenfalls in aller Regel nicht in Betracht".

Possibly not a complete sentence

My comment:

There may well be a preposition later on that changes the meaning of the verb - the whole sentence is needed, and more context, if you want to ask for help.
Why is this 'technical / engineering'??!
