Dear eCanadaNow...

...The word "Tzfardei’a" is Hebrew. I refer you to Exodus chapter 7 verse 27. The Greeks may be using the word, but I believe *they* understand they're making an allusion.

Yours in the name of cross-language understanding,

The consonant cluster "tzf" at the start of a word doesn't sound very Greek to my ear.
