Using Yiddish to Fall Asleep

The advice for falling asleep is to do something that is repetitive like counting backwards by threes starting from 300. I used a variant by finding English words by using three-letter words ending with the letter “e”. Start with the middle letter constant and go through the alphabet changing the first letter. Then go back and do the next middle letter. Aae, abe, ace, ade , afe, age, … aze,  then bae, bbe, bce, bde, bee, … bze.

Here’s how I use this technique in Yiddish to fall asleep. I take the prefixes and go through the alphabet by adding a word. For example, take “tsu” and add words that start with succeeding letter of the alphabet tsubeygn, tsugeyn, tsydekn, tsuhelfn, if you can’t think of a word skip it. Can you think of a word that starts with tsu plus one starting with a vov?
