Re: [Cz-L] Two way street

Hardy,
You are absolutely right about the two-way street.

One proof is the high content of Yiddish and Hebrew in Wienerisch. See for example the book:

Sprechen Sie Wienerisch?: Von Adaxl bis Zwutschkerl by Peter Wehle
http://www.amazon.de/Sprechen-Sie-Wienerisch-Adaxl-Zwutschkerl/dp/3800039613/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1284129342&sr=8-1
It is a delightful book.

Henry
