Referring to the evening meal as "Weczere", must have been very common.
I have writings of my maternal grandfather in Yiddish, which he wrote
in 1936
in which he uses the term "weczeren" for eating the evening meal.
By the way; the evening meal was a small meal, the main meal was
eaten around 1:30 PM.
