Re: [Cz-L] Kenehore

Our Bessere Menschen who spoke only pure Hochdeutsch- Kenehore was tabu.
  Not to divulge their Yiddish language traces.
    Instead they used the German "unberufen" followed by "toi toi toi ".
     Unberufen is as much as "touch wood" making as much sense as Kenehore.
      To avoid encounters with the weird.

Hello to all of you,

Its wonderfull to read all those stories. When I was a little girl my mother
and grand mother were saying the tfu tfu tfu and put a red ruban on me
againt the bad eye. I grew up under (in hebreu) BLI AYIN HARA (without bad
eye) or AL TIFTAH PE LA SATAN (dont open your mouth to the devil). Today I
still do the same for my children or grand children.
All the best and shabat shalom
