Fwiw In German, a shift key = Umschalttaste Caps lock = Feststelltaste to backspace = zurückschalten So its likely the Yiddish was approximating the German keyboard schalten = to switch/turn/change/shift
I think the back and forth among the keyboards is the daytshmerish fighting with Yiddish. To my knowledge, schalten is not a Yiddish word. שאַלטן? Yet we see it here with umshelter
It's not. But שעלטן is, which is why it sounds so weird.
If this is interesting, internal Remington documents from 1905 showing their first Yiddish layouts.pic.twitter.com/2Qy5QeoJfx
What! Where did you get that... And you have to find me more info on Yiddish and Hebrew typewriters. Almost all the info I've found is on this blog entry with patents etc. I've never seen your docs. https://translations.nickblockphd.com/blog/culture/history-yiddish-typewriter.html …
I got them scanned from an archive recently. Here are Remington’s first Hebrew keyboards, 1906.pic.twitter.com/wEGlTdge3V
What archive has Remingtons internal documents?
