I was reading this thread over breakfast this morning, and I then I
remembered my Radautzer grandmother and her sisters always exclaiming
something like "Kane Ahoreh!!". It was always a part of the conversation,
mixed in with accented English. So over breakfast I had the stunning
realization of what this meant, and now I get it! I never knew. Thanks
everyone! It brought back a bit of my past.
