Wow, Tzfat, thank you for the Hebrew Words!

Do you speak Yiddish also? I understand a lot of Yiddish, and although a lot of Yiddish words are Germanic or Slavic in origin, the word for “face” is “punim” which has a similar sound to the Hebrew word you used for face. (panyim).

Please be patient with my ignorance, as I am actually an Irish Indian, and a Bass-Player to boot(LOL), and I am trying to teach myself these things using an Interlinear Bible. It IS a Struggle!

Do you think there is a relationship between the two words?

I do not. Yiddish is a combination of German, Hebrew, and some Russion - written in Hebrew block letters. So, I can read it, but I cannot comprehend all the words.
