| For ], I gave a citation to the current online edition of the OED. I believe it would be a copyright violation to include the text of the OED's etymology ''in extenso'', but here is part of it for your reference. I don't believe this belongs in the article space. | |||
| :Etymology: Partly < modern Hebrew pittāh ( < Balkan Judaeo-Spanish pita slightly leavened flat bread), partly < the etymon of the latter, modern Greek πήττα, πίτα, πίττα bread, cake, pie, pitta (a1108 in medieval Greek as πίτα), partly < Serbian and Croatian pita (1685), and partly perhaps also < other languages of the Balkans (compare Albanian pite, Bulgarian pita); further etymology uncertain and disputed. | |||
| :The relationship of the forms in the different European languages is unclear. Various ancient Greek etymons have been suggested, but the word appears to be of fairly recent appearance in Greek (as is suggested by the variable spelling); also, a plausible transmission from ancient Greek into the various other modern languages is difficult to establish. Modern Hebrew pittāh is written as if descended from an Aramaic form (compare Old Western Aramaic pittəṯā, Eastern Aramaic pittā, related to Palestinian colloquial Arabic fatte crumb, piece of bread) but there is no continuity between them. The Arabic word for this type of bread is kimāj ( < Persian kumāj). Turkish pide (1890) is a loanword, probably < Greek. | |||
| :An ultimate origin in Germanic has been suggested ... | |||
| Does that help? What in particular did you find problematic? --] (]) 21:06, 14 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
| The text above is the Etymology section of the 'pita' article in the current online OED up to the ellipsis (...). It seems pretty clear to me. English got the word from Hebrew and also from various Balkan languages. Beyond that, things are less well understood. --] (]) 21:23, 14 January 2011 (UTC) | |||

In reply to your email: no, it was a speculation that a certain editor is a sock of a certain other editor, neither of them being you. Looie496 (talk) 17:12, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Question
Hey SD, been following the discussion between you and GHcool on the Hezbollah talk page. You've been arguing that Hezbollah is only considered a terrorist organization by Israel, the United States, and the four other countries listed in the article, and therefore the "Islamic terrorism" category shouldn't be used. I'm not convinced enough to support or oppose it at the moment, but I had a question for you: If the STL ends up indicting Hezbollah (as is currently rumored), will that change your stance? You've argued quite often that Israel's presence in the Palestinian territories is considered an "occupation" in the worldview, based on United Nations statements to that effect. And I agree with you. However, in the interest of neutral equality, if the United Nations makes a statement labeling Hezbollah a terrorist organization, will you consider that to be the worldview as well? It won't happen for some weeks or months, but if it happens I think the "terrorist" label for Hezbollah would then become the worldview. What are your thoughts? Cheers. ← George 13:32, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- In the case of the OT, then the vast majority of all countries have voted and said they are occupied, this is not the case of the STL which I'm not sure represents a worldview but only the tribunal. So its not really the same thing. I'm not even sure that even if the STL would claim that Hezbollah was behind it, that they would label it as a "terrorist organization". --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:31, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm, interesting point. I know the bombing of Hariri has been described as a "terrorist attack" by multiple sources, but I agree it would probably be a WP:SYNTH leap to say that it makes whoever perpetrated it a "terrorist organization". It'll be interesting to see if the UN passes some resolution addressing Hezbollah directly when the tribunal finishes its mandate. Anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts. ← George 02:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Israel's borders
Since you write about Israel's borders prior to 1967, would you mind directing me to the peace agreements that establish Israel's borders? Leifern (talk) 21:39, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Would you mind directing me to the factual occurrence where Sinai, WB, Gaza and GH are within Israels borders? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 18:16, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Synagogue in Saragosa
Hello! I am turning to you as an author of an article Ancient synagogue (Barcelona). I need a free or Wiki-usable image of synagogue in Saragossa, like here: http://aragonguide.com/622/aragon-guide-place-zaragoza-jewish-quarter--aragon-pyrenees.html, http://aragonguide.com/images/74b02136ddc02fe6aa36146267cf9b48old-synagoge-zaragoza.jpg. I need it it badly for a big article in a Russian Misplaced Pages on Hasdai Crescas (the single picture in this article provided by me.) (Russian: Крескас, Хасдай), who lived his most important years in Saragossa. Pictures of Jewsih quarter there will do good too. I would be very grateful! Great thanks, --lkitross (talk) 07:38, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
