<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Subject: Etymology<br><br>Thanks, Ron.<br><br>Yes, of course this and other words based on the root <i>*yf</i>V for *'beauty' do occur in pre-contemporary Hebrew as well.
<br><br>I should have made it clearer and referred to יופי <i>yofi</i>, originally probably 'beauty', as probably being of modern coinage in the specific sense of 'great!', 'fine!', 'fantastic!', 'great!'
<br><br>(Cf. Australian "Beauty, mate!" 'Great, man!')<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br></span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
