The historical development of the vowels ē and ō and their allophones in the Jewish dialect of Baghdad
The vowels ē and ō in the Jewish dialect of Baghdad (JB) mostly originate from diphthongs.

The photocopy of a Passover Haggadah, a modest edition glossed in the Arabic of Iraqi Jews (written, as is customary, in Hebrew letters) leads to the contemplation of the recent and current status of the language and wades gently into the question of the hyphen.

The conclusion reveals partiality for continuity over rupture and finds in the language continued expressions of identity and memory.

REMEMBERING A BAGHDAD ELSEWHERE: AN EMOTIONAL CARTOGRAPHY
By juxtaposing often quarantined geographies and histories, and interweaving disparate narratives, the author illuminates an emotional cartography of dislocation, as a disjointed map of her own journey and familial odyssey from Iraq to Israel/Palestine to the US outlines the making of a hyphenated identity, and the pain and pleasure of hybridity within cross-generational crossings of enemy zones.
