נ''ז [57]57 (i.e. 1997-8) Explanation: I was going to simply agree with Judith, but then it occurred to me that this could also be an abbreviation for 5757, and the context seems to bear this out - it is like talking about the "class of 98". My reason for this is that journal volumes sometimes use the last two letters of the date as an abbreviation (for instance, the Piskei Din volumes do this), and it seems to fit in with "מחזור" in this case, IMHO. Therefore, the sentence is something like "completed chef's course - class of '98, which all ..." and whatever comes afterwards. |

נ''ז 57th Explanation: The letters stand for numbers: noon - 50, zayin - 7. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 4 hrs 45 mins (2005-06-08 13:36:58 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- My daughter took a cookery course at Tadmor so I asked her: Her answer was: 57th course - this is the right option. Subject: Cookery course Hi, This was a question on the list: נ\'\'ז in context: סיים קורס טבחות מחוזר נ\'\'ז אשר הכל... Does this mean the 57th course, or the class of tav shin nun zayin - (1997-98)? Hi Ima, 57th course - this is the right option. |
