The thrust delivered along the opponent's blade from the bind that follows a Zornhau.
Liechtenauer's verse on the says, in essence, that against someone who cuts from above, the point of the wrath cut threatens them. The gloss explains: after your Zornhau binds their Oberhau, if they are soft, thrust straight along their blade into the face. Modern practitioners often shorten this to "Zornort".
