Lynn Cates asks:

"I don't suppose you recall the provenance?"

It has slipped my mind, I´m afraid. But I know that for example Robert McLaughlin has written about it on these boards, in a dissertation called "Interpreting Lipski". But it goes further back than that!

Hello Fish. Thanks. Whoever came up with it first, it certainly makes more sense than Lipski. Of course, I can see why a monolingual Hungarian Jew from Whitechapel would be prepared to hear otherwise.
