tshatshke, tsatske, tchochke

So how the $%^& do you spell it? What the Internet needs is a mizvah or is it mitsve, a good Yiddish dictionary. For now I am using http://www.yiddishdictionaryonline.com/

Any way I got one (or would it be two) from the Kat -- two metal candle holders from Jerusalem and labeled as such. Which means she survived the trip to Israel. I am breaking one in right now.

btw Yiddish shows its ancestry -- the word for cat is kats like the German katze. Pup is hintl.
