We did not call them Ukrainians, we called Ruthenians.

To all the Ukrainian-Yiddish experts: I feel like a failed Czernowitzer. In
all my long eleven and a half years in
Czernowitz-Cernauti-Chernovtsy-Chernivtsi I never met a Ukrainian or heard
of one. You want Ukrainians? Come to Canada. We've got more of them than
they have in Kiev. In Czernowitz I met Russians, Poles, Romanians, Germans,
"Schwaben," Hungarians, of course, even an Englishman, but no Ukrainians.
They may have been hiding, saving themselves so that when I came to Canada,
they could hak mir a Cheinik - and that happens to be the only
supposedly-Ukrainian Yiddish word that I recognized in the lists you
provided. So what is the proper spelling for that ancient expression?
"Hak mir nicht ka Chainik?"
