Does anyone know what "verbeamtet" means? As in "jemand, der verbeamtet ist..."? It's not in my dictionary. It's not in my online dictionary. I googled it on Google.de and then hit the automatic translate button (which is really terrible when it comes to any translating, but I thought it would give me some sort of idea) and it didn't translate. I'm out of ideas. Anyone?
