Philologos

Philologos is an etymology column about Yiddish, Hebrew and Jewish words and phrases. It ran for 24 years in The Forward; since January 2015, it has run in Mosaic.[1][2] It is written anonymously.[3][1]

This article is about a newspaper column. For the Saint, see Philologos of Sinope.

Edward Alexander is convinced Hillel Halkin is the column's author, and Mira Sucharov of Canadian Jewish News claimed "Philologos" is his pseudonym.[4][5]
