Fun chain of derivation + borrowing: #Hebrew g-ʔ-y 'to be proud' > gaʔăw-ā 'pride' > gaʔawṯ-ān 'prideful' > gaʔawṯān-ūṯ 'pridefulness' > #Yiddish gavsones 'arrogance' > #Dutch kapsones 'airs' > kapsones-lijer 'braggart'

In the late 19th & early 20th centuries, Jewish immigrants brought Yiddish to the East End, where it mingled with the local Cockney dialect. This unique blend gave rise to expressions like "schlep" and "nosh," now common in everyday English. 🔗 tinyurl.com/mry9kfr2 #langsky #Yiddish #Cockney

In the second season of "The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem" on Netflix, in the English subtitles #Ladino was sometimes erroneously called "Yiddish". Meanwhile, in the second of "The Club" on Netflix, a song in #Yiddish plays ("Chiribim Chiribom"!) and English subtitles call it... Turkish. 🐦🐦
