Thanks to everybody who sent in suggestions.

When I have the list of songs compiled - hopefully in a few weeks - I'll
make it available to anyone on this list who's interested.

A gut vokh,
Batya

> It does, but more likely IMO it derives from the German "Schwieger-"
(e.g., Schwiegermutter = mother-in-law) which is pronounced identically to
the Yiddish. However, IIRC, both the Spanish and German form share a common
Latin root, which I can't remember (don't really remember any of my Latin).
