Middlebelt & Maple—Deerfield Village. 626-8458 Rabbi Explores Origins Hebrew No Stranger to English points out that there is more of that language in English than we may think. Take the words in the para- graph above: T u r k e y, that delectable American bird, may have come from the Hebrew word for neacock — tookee — says Silver. He recounts the anecdote that when one of Columbus' crew (a Jew?) saw a turkey for the first time, he dubbed it tookee, peacock. The name stuck. Scallion, a member of the onion family, apparently abounded near the ancient Judean port city of Ashkelon, which also is the source of a verbal neighbor, the shallot. Canoe is one of many Eng- lish words derived from ka- neh, the Hebrew word for reed. Others include candy (sugar cane), canal, cannon and canyon (all thin, like reed). Chess, as well as the word checkmate, are corruptions of Hebrew words which reached English through Arabic and Persian. Writes Silver: By RABBI SAMUEL J.
