Re: Late Judean countalong CAF
Not sure when the Jewish taboo against honoring living relatives by using their actual name started, so I honored using the same initials like modern Jews do. DW[47]: Amalya bat Yochai eshet Tovia

I just wanted to share some interesting facts with youOh, it's a relatively modern tradition:
Only Ashkenazi (European Jews) typically honor dead relatives unlike Mizrahi/Sephardi (Middle Eastern/Jews who were exiled from Spain during the medieval Era) Who usually name their children after living relatives
(Also, the reason why you did not about this fact is that most American Jews are Ashkenazi)
Additionally, my CAF takes place in Judea in the first century which is before the Jews were exiled from the Levant region (by the way the word Jew derives from Judea-Judah-Yehudah)
