I don't know how to write it English but "le-himalech" means to consider. As
I remember from home, they used pameilech to say do it easy and consider
every step. Asher

Pawolie.
As already pointed out by Mimi, the Yiddish term Pawolie derives
from the Ukrainean " po wolie " meaning something like
" at ease " or " according to will " . In Yiddish we used it as "slow".
This means if you do anything according to your will it will be
at a slow and easy pace. Good enough.
The German term "langsam " was not very much in use .
But pawolie was not good enough, so they came up with another term :
" Pameilach".
"Er kricht arof die Stigen pameilech ,pameilech".
Where does this come from ? "Meilech" is king in Hebrew and
" Po Meilech " is then " as a king ".
Are kings famous for being slow ?
Well, they have all the time in the world but where does it say
that they were slow?
Does anybody know ?
