[Heb-NACO] Sans clue

[Heidi G Lerner]

Hi Bob,


I found a copy of his 1880 book Halikhot olam available on Hathi Trust. Here is  how his name appears in Russian on page 38 of the book and a transliteration from the Cyrillic:


???? ???????


0???? ???????

I?U?fda Kokiov'

So perhaps we could romanize his name from the Hebrew as:
Yufudah.

Just my 2 centsl

best, Heidi

Hello folks:

I've encountered a name that's got me checking places I don't normally
check, and since I've drawn blanks, it's time to check with the group.

Sefer Toldot hakhme ha-Kara'im is the book, and the author is IU. D.
Kokizov.  On p. 9 his name is given as ha-rav Yehudah (??) ben ha-r.
R. Kokhizov.

?? = ??????

Spelled out, that's yud-vav-feh-vav-dalet-heh.  Yufudah, Yofodah,
Yufodah, Yofodeh, etc.; every single one of the vowels is
questionable.  More, the feh may be a peh, or may simply be an error
(given his geographic region and assuming the the name is a Yehudah
derivative, a "g" might more likely since Russian likes to render
foreign h's as g's (e.g., Kohen ----> Kagan, etc.)
I checked in Beider on the off-chance that yud-vav-feh-vav-dalet-heh
is derived from Yehudah, but drew blanks.

For the record, Kokhizov was a Karaite who lived in Crimea and later
Saint Petersberg, where he vanished in 1917.

Please, if you have any notion of what the vocalization of this name
might be, please let me know.

Bob
