I too learned to call them Schmetterling. I read some time ago that a
University is studying Jiddish because it originated as Mediaval German
..and then incorporated words from their surroundings. Cornel.

Dear Hardy,
Yiddish is one of the richest languages I know. It has at least three words
for "butterfly": flaterl, bobele and zumerfoygl. It uses Hebrew, Germanic,
Slavic and old French words, sometime for the same concept, and often
every one of them has a slightly different meaning.
