If I Were a Boy (novel) If I Were a Boy (Albanian: "Sikur t'isha djalë" ) is an Albanian Epistolary novel written by Haki Stërmilli in 1936. Written mostly in a form of diary entries it documents the struggle of the young female protagonist Dija to adjust in an Albanian patriarchal society, which was common during the time the novel was written in. Originally the novel was written in Gheg dialect.
Jew (word) The term Jew passed into the English language from the Greek "Ioudaios" and Latin "Iudaeus", from which the Old French "giu" was derived after dropping the letter "d", and later after a variety of forms found in early English (from about the year 1000) such as: Iudea, Gyu, Giu, Iuu, Iuw, Iew developed into the English word “Jew.” It thus ultimately originates in the Biblical Hebrew word "Yehudi" meaning "from the Tribe of Judah", "from the Kingdom of Judah", or "Jew". The Jewish ethnonym in Hebrew is , "Yehudim" (plural of , "Yehudi").
