i would say the short answer is not likely - at least not in hungarian.

miskolc is pronounced meesh-koltz, and even if it were reversed in that way, meek-sholtz would not be written with an x, which, as far as i know, is only used in loanwords in hungarian. (miksa is the hungarian version of maximilian.) likewise, i don't believe that yiddish uses x, as such. (for example, FUCHS would be written peh-vav-kuf-samech?) and the -ler suffix is usually an occupation. the similarity to WECHSLER (origin: old german for money changer) might be a clue. but that's just my opinion. ....... tom klein, toronto lmeixler@... wrote: |
