It's possible you're thinking of a similar-sounding Yiddish word, but I need more context to understand what you're looking for.
Could you provide more information, such as:
* The context in which you heard the word: Was it in a conversation, a book, a song, etc.?
* Any other words you remember from that context: This might help me narrow down the possibilities.
* What you think the word might mean: Your interpretation of the word could also provide clues.
With more information, I can better assist you in finding the meaning of the word you're looking for.
