Y ~ Yenta - a gentlewoman/noblewoman** (Yiddish) ** There is a mistaken belief that the word for a Jewish matchmaker is "yenta" or "yente". In reality a Jewish matchmaker is called a "shadchan" (שדכן). The origin of this error is the 1964 musical Fiddler on the Roof, in which a character named Yente serves as the matchmaker for the village of Anatevka. The Yiddish name "Yente" derives from a word meaning "gentle" or "noble" but it has come to refer to a woman who is a gossip or a busybody, much like the character in the musical. (Wikipedia) |

I don't think so. If memory serves correctly, Yentl was the name of the lead character played by Streisand. A ~ Attendre - v. to wait/expect (French) |
