Aw: Re: [Cz-L] Nettchen=Yiddish term of endearment?

I agree with Berti (second 't' is missing) who writes on ephes.com:
"Berti says:

It does not look at all like Nettchen, where is the second t?
Looks more like Netselme, whatever that may means."

If Yiddish, "Chen" is a good word, meaning special attraction, like in
"Bei mir bist du schein, bei mir host du chen…"
