APY – I asked Google translate to translate aunt and I get ???? – This is not momma – it’s mumme – which is a second translation for the word aunt just like tante. The vav does not sound like an o in Yiddish it’s either an oi because of the ashkenazik pronunciation or an oo for a shuruk. And the ayin takes an eh sound not an ah sound – that would be an aleph.
