Hello,
Following a previous discussion of mine : Kujambelwasser (Seemännisch)
On the subject of Navy slang in the German military, the suggestion was that Kujuffel, meaning coins or money had its origin in Russian, or perhaps Ukrainian. (Presumably during the September 1941 and August 1944 occupation.) Can anyone think of a word in Russian which might have been deformed and which may confirm this theory?
