Mendele Personal Notices and Announcements Nov. 3, 2015
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text to victor.bers at yale.edu as plain text (no HTML, other coding, or attachments) and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. _______________________________________ From: Norman Buder [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2015 12:41 AM Subject: Meaning and Etymology of Word "Barentin" Meaning and Etymology of Word "Barentin" In the "Y. Eybrams-Bukh: Dos Lebn un Shafn fun an Eygnartike Perzenlekhkayt," published in Mexico in 1956, the unusual word "barentin" occurs several times. Two examples from page 139: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.archive.org_stream_nybc207958-23page_n140_mode_2up&d=AwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=D8C0VFGQIMfNsn7w8b0vfE3r3ePhWQ7ssdhDNAOIA7Y&m=G4vnojaPM_0pcmV3CmlwgSHrHjBhFq7Zd-v-GfIe99s&s=ccjoqzCiDUsqj4VYNAbB5Q-MemBeWXRc9F-A8rE1j3A&e= "Der odeser barentin hot zikh getsoygn oyf toyznter meter baym breg fun yam." "Plutsling hot men ongehoybn shrayen, az der barentin brent, un take in der zelber minut iz der barentin ayngeviklt gevorn in flamen." -- I can make guesses based on context, but does anyone actually KNOW what the word "barentin" means and what its etymology is?
