While back on the subject of Galitzianisher Hebrew... Some qamatzes do
remain like those of East Europeans from Poland or Litta. My leading
theory is assimilation, but it's also possible that in the original
havarah, only a qoomatz goodoil was a long /U/ and the other qomatz is
a legacy of qoomatz qootoon (and not learning diqdiq).

:-)BBii!
