Gramatika: m. hrabě - count (the singular stem except Nsg is hrabět- in sg. The plural stem is hrabat-, and the declension is the same as neuter nouns of the type kuře, i.e., hrabata, Gpl. hrabat. The modifiers and predicates treat the word as a neuter noun in the plural; ta hrabata přišla.

anglicky: 'with Count Zeppelin'; a typical feature of Cimrman's putative discoveries and inventions is that he always joins the famous and real inventor and then - as it seems - is somehow forgotten and only one name survives and enters history; it could be a reflection of a minor nation complex where an achievement is always captured by someone from a big neighboring nation or state.
