ריבישויוו
'Hrubieszów (town in southeastern Poland)'
ETYMOLOGY
Beider argues that the word must have been borrowed from Old Polish before the 16th c. while the final vowel of Hrubieszów was still long /oː/. Beider also conjectures that in Old Polish the name was stressed on the final syllable, as in Yiddish.
Polish Hrubieszów; cf. Ukrainian Грубешів.
