Sicherheitsabfrage
German: Sicherheitsabfrage
I've been flummoxed by this for years, and now I feel stupid: confirmation prompt is a much, much better translation than the stupid "safety query" or "security query" I've been defaulting to.

gekröpft
German: gekröpft (of a chain link)
Offset link, apparently. A "gekröpftes Glied" is a half-link used to get the length of a roller chain (like a bicycle chain) right. Source: http://www.fks-gmbh.de/katalog/fks_katalog.pdf.
