So: whose words become the tokens?

This is the question. Yiddish is not a neutral choice. It is the language of one tradition, now treated as universal because that tradition came to dominate.

My grandparents spoke Arabic, then Hebrew. Their synagogue was not a "shul." When the Ashkenazi establishment told them how to practice, it was not presented as one tradition among many. It was presented as correct.

Now we encode that into infrastructure.
