While looking through some electrochemistry books in the library I found one sentence on reducing amides to amines electrolytically.
Ferner lassen sich durch dieses Reduktionsverfahren, freilich mit nur geringer Strom- and Materialausbeute, Amide zu dem entsprechenden Aminen reduzieren.
which freetranslation.com translates to
Furthermore leave itself through this reduction procedure, to be sure with only slighter current and Materialausbeute, Amide to the corresponding Aminen reduce itself.
Ausbeute is yield which it didn't translate probably since it was in the compound word Materialausbeute. One foot note gives the reference Ber. 32, 68 (1899) which I have to order from storage. I didn't find any books written in English which discuss this process.

Furthermore by this reduction (procedure) it´s possible to reduce amides to the correspondending amines, but yields are low. (what "Strom" means - I cannot exactly determine. Perhaps flow/speed of processing, it´s a question of context.
haven`t forgotten it - low on time, sorry

Strom = current, unit ampere
once is enough :-[
oh thank ya,
but also "Strom" could be a "very big river" what would make no sense also. It´s not "thy blind leading thy naked" here, okay?

When looking through one of my German books recently I found something that discussed cognates which appear to be similarly spelled words which mean the same thing or almost the same thing in two different languages. 'Strom' in German seems to be a cognate to 'Stream' in English. Strom in electricity looks like it would translate to current in English, though.
cognate
3 a : related by descent from the same ancestral language
