Hi all,</span></font></span></p>
<p><span><font color="navy" face="Batang" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Batang;">The meanings differ but does
yoffie relate to A. 'jafel' meaning scoundrel, cad?</span></font></span></p>

<p style="margin-left: 36pt;"><font color="black" face="Arial Unicode MS" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Ron, you
wondered where <i><span style="font-style: italic;">yoffie</span></i> comes from.
If Mark doesn't know, I will look it up in the Oxford
South African English Dictionary. If it is of Hebrew origin, then could it be
related to Dutch <i><span style="font-style: italic;">jofel </span></i>'sane,
sensible, etc.'?</span></font><font color="black" face="Arial Unicode MS" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black;"> </span></font><font color="black"><span style="color: black;"></span></font></p>
