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.
