Usage notes
[edit]
  • Outside of the manifestation אַלצדינג (altsding) and its variants, the term is almost unheard of in the United States - neither Weinreich (1968), the CYED (2013), nor the CEYD (2016) attest this term - and זאַך (zakh) is almost universally used in its place. European dictionaries on the other hand (see "References") attest דינג (ding).
  • The term is not necessarily Daytshmerish, just less common.
