Shalom, Mr. Weiser,

As HInei ma tov comes directly from Psalm 133, my research suggests that the Romaniote Jews of Greece would chant this in Hebew, not translated or transliterated into their spoken Judeo-Greek.  Unfortunately, I gave my copies of Yevanic Siddurim to colleagues and no longer have them to check for you.  However, if you contact the Kehila Kadosha Janina Synagogue and Museum in New York, they could tell you for sure.  Their contact info is:

Kehila Kadosha Janina Synagogue and Museum

280 Broome St, New York, NY 10002

email: in...@kkjsm.org

phone: +12124311619

Hope this helps.

Best,

Hine ma-tov in Yavanic (Judeo-Greek)

Kalman Weiser <kwe...@yorku.ca>: Oct 19 03:33PM -0700 Can some provide a translation of the following into Judeo-Greek - preferably in Latin letters? הִנֵּ֣ה מַה־טּ֖וֹב וּמַה־נָּעִ֑ים שֶׁ֖בֶת אַחִ֣ים גַּם־יָֽחַד A friend has asked me for this for a choir singing the famous verse in multiple languages. I figure it would be best to ask the experts before turning to my mother. She grew up speaking Judeo-Greek at home but had no formal Jewish education and is illiterate in any form of Greek.   thanks, Kalman Weiser
