SHTUBA inquiry

[Mark J Awakuni-Swetland]

Aloha all,

My elder brother at Macy recently asked if I had heard the term 'shtuba' 
as used by another Omaha relative as the term for 'brother'.

We have been drawing a blank on the word here at UNL.

Does anyone recognize the word?

Thanks,

Mark Awakuni-Swetland
