Subject: Holiday Greetings

I might have missed anyone posting it (or anyone asking for it) but here is my
annual list of Christmas greetings. Any corrections or additions would be
appreciated.

My old Cyrillic font became corrupted a while back, and I hadn't put the
transliterations into Latin for Russian, Serbian, or Ukrainian in here (like I
did for Greek) (silly me). So if anyone can correct those for me, that would be
great.

Mandy Patinkin, star of stage and "Chicago Hope", did an album last year (1998)
called Mamaloshen. On it, he sings such songs as
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, The Hokey Pokey, Take Me Out To The
Ballgame, God Bless America, and I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas...all in
Yiddish! He offers the term "Nitl" for Christmas. (What a mensch!) Would this be
a proper substitute for "geburtstog funem goyishn meshiakh"?

Jason,

Wasn't that "Mamelosh(e)n" (literally "mother language" in reference to
Yiddish)?

> Sorbian: Wjesole hody a strowe nowe leto

This is *Upper* Sorbian.  There should be a slash through the "l" in the first
word.  The "e" in _leto_ should have a hachek on it.

I suppose in Lower Sorbian it would be "Wjaso{l/}y gody a strowe nowe l{e^}to"
(literally "Merry Christmas and a Healthy New Year").

Regards,

Reinhard/Ron
