Re: [Cz-L] The Joy of Yiddish

I wander if "A babes a tzwok" means the same as "A babes gllicken"

If my memory does not betray me "A babes a tzwok, means a very, very
distant relative.

Dear all,

A propos Yiddish expressions common in Czernowitz and Bukowina -
Does anybody remember the expression "A Babes a Tzvok" ?
