Going back a bit to a recent #schoolLetter, #DearPrincipal this time. Some #names, a #holiday, a #song, and #woke.

Another great #name!

#Miriam /mirˈjam (Hebrew), ˈmɪɚiəm (English)/ = #given #name for girls. Etymology uncertain. Possibilities include: derived from #SemiticRoot M-R-R (generates words related to “bitter”); derived from #SemiticRoot M-R-Y (generates words related to “mutiny/ rebellion / disobedience”); derived from Egyptian “mery” (= beloved).

My fancy keyboard came! There are JWHIA toots to catch up on! Let's go!

Some old friends, for new followers:

#Yom /jom (Hebrew), jam (Jewish English)/ = day

#ha (also ha') /hə/ (Hebrew prefix) = 1. the; 2. that, who; 3. question marker

#Kadosh /kaˈdoʃ (Hebrew), ˈkʌdəʃ (Jewish English)/ = holy/saint

Ha'kadosh /həˈkʌdəʃ, həkəˈdoʃ/ = the holy

#Sameach /sa'me.aχ (Hebrew), səˈmejəχ (Jewish English)/ = happy/ joyous

There is some fun Hebrew in the latest #JWHIA #schoolLetter, plus the #name #Dovid is really interesting--but the thread has to wait, because I have an arm injury which is making typing more than a short toot really difficult 😫 any recommendations for an ergonomic or even 1-handed keyboard?

A short #JWHIA #SchoolLetter! Lots of #names, some #OldFriends, and tasty #snacks If I skip something you are curious about, @ me. Onward!

#Gveret (also #Geveret, #Giveret, G'veret) /'g(ə)veret (Hebrew)/ = lady, madame, Ms. (can be used as a title)

Heads up before I launch into the thread: due to family events I won't be available for at least a week, maybe 2 or 3, which means a (short) Jewterpretor hiatus. I'm mostly finished with the Dear Teachers letter, so I'll post what I have. If you've followed me for awhile, you've seen some of this before.

Bo'u nelech! (=let's go, roughly)

Oy vey! I barely finished the last #JWHIA #DearTeachers #SchoolLetter, and I haven't even finished writing the “secular” thread (and have posted exactly none of it), and here we go with a brand new #SchoolLetter! Ein shalom laresha’im, nachon? (= “no rest for the wicked, right?”) (FYI I didn’t get that checked by a language informant & I’m not confident at all what the right tag question (e.g. nachon vs ken vs lo etc.) is here, commentary is very welcome!)

Alright #MedinatAmericans and other friends! More translations from #JWHIA's most recent #DearTeachers #SchoolLetter. Question of the day: can I get through the first tweet of her thread? 🤔 Let's find out together, shall we?

A new #JWHIA #SchoolLetter, #DearTeachers this time. And only 10 toots long, a walk in the park after the last one (53 tweets on twitter 🤩😦)! Will still probably take a few+ days to roll the whole thing out, there’s a lot to cover here. But it does mean I’ll finally get to the long-promised thread on “secular!”
