Somebody pointed out that these words certainy do exist. Being somewhat
distracted when I responded, I failed to read the transliteration correctly
(normally, I look up b-greek transliteration or turn it back into Greek). I
read it as though it said fgaine dush (i.e., as though the H were the English
letter instead of eta).
Oops.
