JGB 34, truth and semblance, and degrees of apparentness

The passage

Four sentences from the second half of aphorism 34, ending before the question whether the world that concerns us might not be a fiction, which the map does not yet hold. »Schätzungen« is "estimations", a valuing, not a reckoning. »Schein« is rendered "semblance" and »scheinbar« "apparent", as in the GD passages (p-gd-vernunft-2-apparent-world); »Scheinbarkeit« "apparentness", to keep the two words apart. »Abschlaffen«, literally to let go slack, is rendered "do away with"; »gesetzt, ihr könntet das« is kept as the supposition it is. The last two sentences are questions, and the claim drawn from them keeps them as questions (c-nietzsche-degrees-of-apparentness-instead-of-true-and-false).
