What does one say in Modern Hebrew when a person sneezes (if anything)? It
occurred to me the other day that I use the German reply a lot, but maybe
as a Semiticist I should use Hebrew. I'm pretty sure it never comes up in
Biblical Hebrew, so let's work with what there is. (I know--I should have
learned Modern Hebrew by now, but unfortunately it's not required for my
program, and I don't have the time to do extra stuff right now.) Anyway,
if you feel that this is completely unrelated to the purpose of this list,
you're probably right--feel free to reply off-list :-)

Thanks,
