Yeah, you have to be careful of auto-transliterating, if that's what
you're using for this transliteration. The third word is definitely not
"auns"; the alef at the beginning is a "shtumer-alef", a *silent* letter
used in Yiddish a little like a mater lectionis, now that I think about
it: it's a nominal (but void) consonant used as a place-holder to hold
the vowel (Hebrew allows words to start with a vocalic vav, only when
it's used as a conjunction, but Yiddish does not, generally. Nor a
vocalic yod or double-yod or vav-yod diphthong.) Interesting that you
have "*zya dya" there (those are silent as well; the words are just "zi
di"); it looks like elsewhere in the document they spell it with a more
precise transliteration, strictly using AYIN for "e", not ALEF as here.
