Re: [Cz-L] Groisse Shil wall

The use of Shul instead of Schul is an influence of the "Litwickes"
the Jews from Lituania. They pronounce for example Boruch instead of
the Galizian and Czernowitzeer Burich. The Hebrew vowell "Vaw" is
pronounced as the English
"e" in evil in Czernowitz etc and as the two "oo" in root  in
Lituania. Hence Schil in Czernowitz is Schul in Lituania.
