context1: The only possibility for Romanians to <strong>retain</strong> or access nobility in Hungarian Transylvania was through conversion to Catholicism. Some Orthodox Romanian nobles converted, becoming integrated into the Hungarian nobility. These circumstances marked the beginning of a conflict between ethnic Hungarian Catholics and ethnic Romanian Orthodox (and ethnic Romanian Greek Catholics also) in the territory of Transylvania which in some regions <strong>remains</strong> unresolved to this very day.
context2: In the event that neither team scores, the hammer <strong>remains</strong> with the same team. Naturally, it is easier to score points with the hammer than without; in tournament play, the team with the hammer generally tries to score two or more points. If only one point is possible, the skip will often try to avoid scoring at all in order to <strong>retain</strong> the hammer until the next end, when two or more points may lie.
