=== Poolish ← פאליש ===

I've found an even more suprising hypothesis, which proposes that the work "poolish" comes from "''polish''" (פאליש), which is a Yiddish word for a synagogue antechamber. The idea here is that a pre-ferment is the first step towards a finished bread, just like the antechamber is the first step towards the synagogue. In the central (Polish-Galician) dialect of Yiddish, the vowel "o" is closer to the "oo" sound, which would explain the "poolish" spelling in English transcription, as well as indicate a Polish origin of the method. Except that, in this case, the authorship of this method would belong not to Poles in general, but specifically to Polish Jews.
