What is appropriate.....kippa or yarmulke?

Either work well. It’s all good.
You speak of linguistic oddities.
Here is one to ponder.
Now I have no idea if there is a difference in the Arabic spelling...
But the word for a Moslem’s brimless cap...
~and~
the word for a lie told to an Infidel...

So I guess you could say that lying is “on their minds” all the time.
