Thanks, Larry,
I would be interested in the original German words used by
AE, if any one
can help.
If you have access to the original German, go to the site
Larry quoted:
http://www.bartleby.com/173/ and search (at the very top) on the word
"reference". It always seems to be used with "body", never
with "frame".
Was there perhaps no German equivalent to "frame" at the time ??? A
search of the English text for "frame" gets zero relevant
hits (only one
irrelevant hit).

Perhaps you could borrow the term "proper frame" from
frame" is theAs I understand the term, an object's/observer's "proper
relativity laws, didframe in which it/he is at rest..
The term "rest frame" seems to be quite commonly used, at least as
frequently as "proper frame".
Einstein himself, in composing and explaining the
not use the term "frame". His terminology is usually translated toreference frame
"reference-body" or "body of reference". Where we would now say
"inertial frame", Einstein used the term "Galilean reference-body".
Reading his SR and GR, it seems that he envisioned each
specifically associated with a particular object.
