orion-list ORION: Chatsaf (Was: Orion Digest, etc.)
>If "Chutzpah" is Yiddish,
That's a big "if"...
The root is from Aramaic and appears in Daniel 2:15 and 3:22...
it is hardly Yiddish in origin.
The derived noun form, "Chutzpah" appears in Hebrew by the
first century.
So, yes, in a frail sense the origin of the word is relevant
to Orion.
