This conversation between two speakers of Swiss Western Yiddish Berta Schmuklerski-Guggenheim, born 1878 Endingen (since 1915 lived in Zürich) and Robertine Wyler-Bloch, born on 1881 Endingen (since 1908 lived in Brugg, and since 1947 lived in Zürich) was recorded in 1957. Among other things, they talk about a game called “Grisch” (literally “bran”): Coins are put into a pile of bran, every child gets a part of it and then
searches it to find a coin. A literal translation of this recording complete with a linguistic commentary can be found in Fleischer (2005: 171–173, in German).
