    But Yiddish is itself a Germanic language, and modern German dialects like Bavarian do have “Schof” = “Schaf” = “sheep”. Is there a better etymology for Schof here? And Seckl < Säckle < Sack would be perfect for scrotum too, and in high German you can call someone “du Sack” to mean they’re an idiot also.
