Philologos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philologos is an etymology column about Yiddish, Hebrew and Jewish words and phrases. It ran for 24 years in The Forward; since January 2015, it has run in Mosaic.[1][2] It is written anonymously.[3][1]

Edward Alexander is convinced Hillel Halkin is the column's author, and Mira Sucharov of Canadian Jewish News claimed "Philologos" is his pseudonym.[4][5][6]
