   • 1999, Eliezer Papo, “La Megila de Saray”, in Los Muestros‎, numbers 34–36, R. Capuia, page 43:

     No le digas ke sta tonto - lo akavido Alegra kon amor - porke los dos stash savyos, i kon ayuda del Dio vos vere hahamim i merkaderes - i los dos tenesh razon.

     ‘Don’t tell [somebody] that [someone else] is foolish,’ I warned Alegra lovingly, ‘for both of you are wise, and with God’s help I shall see you [become] rabbis and merchants, as both are reasonable.’

2. (reflexive) to act cautiously
   • 1982, Enrique Saporta y Beja, En torno de la torre blanca‎, Editions Vidas Largas, page 144:

     En las grutas, tambyen, se mandavan los djovines empyegados ortodoksos, ansina los djidyos selaniklis se akavidavan kontra una akuzasyon posivle de "krimen ritual".

     In the shops as well, young Orthodox employés were deployed, thus the Jews of Salonika acted cautiously against a possible accusation of ‘ritual crime’.
