Oops! The book is Der Thron von Melengar by Michael J Sullivan, originally published in English. It's really good, and has sequels. And for the translations:
High treason: Hochverrats
Dungeon: Kerker
Longitudinal axis: Längsachse
And sword fighting terms:
Knauf: Pommel/butt/knob (this might have, in context, been talking about a saddle?)
Schlug: to hit/to beat
Eisernen: Iron
Gerangel: Skirmish/tussle/scramble
Dolch: Dagger
Scheide: Sheath
Heftwicklung: the grip or heft of a sword
My source for translations is: https://www.dict.cc , or Google translate on the rare occasion that the site had no clear answer.

There is a duck in the sink.
He just gave me his pig.
He sees his empty glass and becomes sad.
While leaving my place I saw a monkey.
My desire is not to kill anymore.
Your bear drinks beer.
It's a bear attack.
thanks to DuoLingo for all the above. I'm not sure whether the last two are related in any way.

I work for a very large aerospace company. A couple of years ago, the latest bit of corporatese that they introduced us to was "word class proDUCE company" (not "world class PROduce company"). But given that they were written the same way, even the managers couldn't resist mocking the discussions about how to turn us into a world class produce company. There's some merit in diversification, but still...
