In response to "And one version is catholic and the other is jewish." by the liioulu with MBT Bulletin

I've never met any Jewish -skis or -skys, though anything's possible

-ski and -sky (which I tend to associate with Ukrainians) are pretty pan-Slavic so I don't think that's it.

As I said I think I've confused that with -itz and -icz. -- nm - the liioulu with MBT Bulletin Feb 6, 13:35 4
- -itz is the German ending, -icz is the Polish -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 13:38 3
  - There are are also different endings for Polish jews and polish catholics. -- nm - the liioulu with MBT Bulletin Feb 6, 13:42
  - "Rabinowitz" -- nm - Facto Feb 6, 13:40 1
    - Sure, but there is also Rabinovitz, Rabinowicz, Rabinovich etc, all spelled according to whether it's Polish, German, Russian etc - Roger More Feb 6, 13:45
