There are many ways to say in Ivrit (Hebrew) the non-Jewish year that just ended. I knew shan\u00e0 misharit, commercial year, and shan\u00e0 ezrahit, calendar year, but today I came upon the expression shan\u00e0 lo\u2019azit, that might translate as \u201cforeign year\u201d, non-Jewish year. However, the term is richer than it seems and has a long history. It starts with a root that appears only once in the Bible (Psalms 114, 1) meaning \u201cspeaking in incomprehensible way\u201d, that is speaking a foreign language, specifically that of ancient Egyptians.
\nIn rabbinical Hebrew we also find the noun la\u2019az, \u201cforeign language\u201d, mostly to indicate Greek. In a later historical phase, dominated by Roma\u2019s language, the same term indicates the variants of spoken Latin, progenitors of the Romance languages used in Italy and France. The Jews that from those areas moved to Germany before the year 1000 also spoke la\u2019az, the sources inform us. So, la\u2019az is the dominant language of the moment, and in the secular Jewish history it changes its skin more than once.
\nNot only, the eclectic la\u2019az also means \u201cbackbiting\u201d. Maybe because of the common practice of insulting the others in a language they do not understand, so to vent one\u2019s disappointment without unpleasant consequences? Anyways, shan\u00e0 lo\u2019azit tov\u00e0! <\/p>\n
