Mendele: Yiddish literature and language ______________________________________________________ Contents of Vol. 1 no. 66 September 25, 1991 1) Brukhes un kloles (Aren Abramson) 2) Kloks (Mikhl Herzog) 1)---------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 25 Sep 91 10:20:30 EST From: Aren Abramson Subject: RE: Mendele Vol1.62 Gey in drerd 'Go to hell.' I remember this curse from childhood, although not from my own house, where Yiddish was rarely spoken. Perhaps my gloss is not quite right, since one might expect /gey(t) in gehinem/ or the like.
