I do remember the folowing expresions:
1. - Yusku steifhut = I think that this expression was used for a certain type of "smarty" that made himself important without beeing?? I am not sure.
2. - vosme bo pliuno = take it away or I will spit (presumably ukrainian or russian)
3. - sto rubli nie diengi a mujic nie brat = hundrer rubles are not money and you mujic is nor my brother (ukrainian or russisan). The meening is : a word is more than 100 rubles-at the Kzars time.
4. - fete verter aber trikene pirogen = great words but dry varenekes. The meening is: words are only words.
5 - He was called: "kliger der limenar", = "Wise" man that was seling lemons, a Jew that was seling "limenes" from house to house. (Russisegasse)
6. - In our home when someone came to visit or just passes by, the custom was to serve the table. Kliger der limener was one that visited us often.
> 70 years have passed since I was uprooted. Sometime I have the impression that this did not hapen to me, but many times the feeling is as it is hapening now.
> I never succeded to erase this loss from my feelings.
