Etymology

From Middle High German welisc (Romance, non-Germanic, foreign), from Old High German walask, walahisk, welisk, from Proto-Germanic *walhiskaz. The script was referred to as “Romance” or “foreign” because it was traditionally used by the Ladino-speaking Sephardim, rather than by the Ashkenazim.

Adjective

וועליש (velish)

  1. of or related to the Vellish script, the most common typeface for printed Hebrew and the Sephardi Stam script from which the typeface is derived
