Anyone know the meaning of oudoré?

It means golden according to Google translate. 

In English we do not say they kissed themselves. I see this has been discussed before. It is an incorrect translation

Désolé de commencer à ressembler à un disque rayé avec ces questions contextuelles, mais :

J'ai vu les verbes emballer et déballer utilisés pour décrire l'emballage et le déballage de manière générique. Les verbes emballer et déballer sont-ils utilisés principalement pour déplacer un ménage ou une entreprise entière ?

The best I can fathom, verb usage changes with an increase in scale/size or something becoming more of a commercial activity (not necessarily workplace jargon, that happens in every language). Am I on to something here or am I way off-base?

J'ai vu des oiseaux passer dans le ciel.

J'y en ai vu passer 

J'en ai vu y passer

Which of the above is right?

Why is it "la confiture d'abricot" but, "la confiture de la fraise"? Shouldn't it be "la confiture d'abricot" and "la confiture de fraise"? 

Or: "la confiture de l'abricot" and "la confiture de la fraise"?

Just curious as to which is correct.

Merci

Most often in the use of pqp, one action precedes another. Sometimes the action the plus-que-parfait precedes will not be explicit, but will be implied in the sentence:

Je m'étais trompé de date cette fois-là.I'd got the date wrong that time.Vous vous étiez amusés cette nuit-là?Had you had fun that night?Both these examples, weakly imply, that you were mistaken and had fun in a prior time.  I find this difficult to think I would be able to discern the need for the pqp in constructing a sentence. Can you please explain this more in depth? Thank you, Ken

...but this doesn’t appear in the story.
