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

When I worked in Israel and on 47th

I heard kippa used much more....It’s Hebrew right....

The Lubavitcher said yarmulke....the Satmar too

What a strange divergence of language

I like kippa better....flows better

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...
are homophones = “Taqiyah.”

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