[Avodah] Oneg

I was casting around for a good translation of Oneg, ענג,
when all of a sudden it struck me...

I should have realized this years ago, and maybe you did,
but it only hit me this past Friday:

Oneg and enjoy are the same word!

The ע, נ, ג of Oneg are the same as the E, N, J of Enjoy!
Which captures precisely the difference between happiness as in Simchas 
Yom Tov, and enjoyment, as in Oneg Shabbos!
