Verterbukh

I think דאָס can also substitute for אַז or something like כּדי (maybe daytshmerish). Here's an example from Malka Lee, Durkh kindershe oygn:

ikh vil es ufheybn funem ash... es zol nisht opgevisht vern... dos mayne kinder un kinds-kinder zoln visn zeyer opshtam.

In YIVO pronunciation, the ending 'keyt' (kuf-tsvey yudn-tet) rhymes with English 'late', but I've only heard it pronounced 'kayt' (YIVO standard) to rhyme with English 'light'.

Does any Yiddish dialect use the 'keyt' pronunciation?

I'm wondering about the difference between a "referat" and a "lektsye". A sheynem dank!

בטלן חלומות: this idiom seems to mean "to curse." See Dovid Bergelson, Opgang p6 in new edition. See Sholem Aleykhem, "Alemen Glaykh." See Hershele Ostropolyer in story "A foter farshteyt di kinder afn vunk."

I was looking up ahingas and it found nothing. Switching 'To Yiddish' and asking for one-way and it found ahingas under ahin..., which is fine, but the first should work too.

I think this discussion fell through the cracks. I think we should add "never mind" and for "מילא װאָס", "never mind that ..."

As in "ikh hob im lib, meyle vos er iz a pisher"

This was among the hits on Google book search:
הערסטוו מיין װייבו מילא װאָס דו האָסט מיר צוגעזאָגט פאַר דער חתונה פינף הונדערט רובל נדןו

And N's L-K includes "s'makht nit oys" among the glosses.

Maybe add biz to the tsu, as in "... oyfgehoybn bizn kop"? (lifted as high as / up to [his] head)

I am translating an essay by Lazki-Bertoldi. He has a certain lyrical style, contingent on hyphenated words, which I'm trying to retain, if possible. Can anyone suggest English translations for the following words:

וועלט-אנשויאונגען
מאמע-ווארט
נשמה-ציטער
געדאנקען-פארמעסטונגען
גלות-איבערלעבעניש
וועלט-ווארט

Besides for the first word (whose meaning I don't know at all), I've written provisional translations for the rest. But I'm not satisfied with them.

Any help is appreciated!
