Talk:חול קרייש

Etymology
This site says that the ceremony is Ashkenazi and originated in the 11th century (having roots in the 5th century, according to some) and that the name comes from 🇨🇬 and from German [sic] related to 🇨🇬. I found the presumable German cognate //, which is a verb rather than a noun. This phrase and the word קרייש on its own might both be attestable in Yiddish. After not that much time looking, I found this and also this use as a verb. --WikiTiki89 21:11, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I did see that cite in the YIVO bleter, but both times it comes up in there are mentions used as linguistic examples, and don't make it clear which language the mentioned term is considered to be in, so I don't think they suffice for attestation purposes (though they do clarify the etymology). I see what appear to be actual cites in running Hebrew text, though. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:14, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
