I read something interesting today.
We all hear the word frum (Yiddish "pious") comes from Frankish (old German) and ultimately from Provençal.
Well, some hold it comes from Efraim, the learning one in the Efraim/Menashe duet. Interesting, no? Though Provençal is much more likely linguistically speaking...
