Re: [Cz-L] A short and very compact history of Bukovina :

Hi Hardy, Thanks for the "short history" of our Czernowitz, you are
"Unique"..... but I must correct you" "a Rich" is not the same as a Riech "
a Riech is "Gib a "Schmeck" it comes from "Riechen" with the nose...and a
Rich is the Satan....and another is "a rich in dan Taten, Taten aran"
my yiddish is not at all perfect, but the courses I know in 10
languages...even in hungarian, which I do'nt understand....Best reguards
Hedwig
