This is a really wild guess, but is it possible that 'nepr'
actually referred to the river Dnepr?  I don't know why the
initial 'd' would disappear, though.

In mendele Vol. 2.32 Alan Rutkowski asks about "nepr."  I
believe this to be the Dniepr River, in the central and
southeast Ukraine, on which sit the cities of Kiev and
Dnepropetrovsk.

In regard to Alan Rutkowski's query (Mendele 2.32), could
"hinter dem nepr" possibly refer to the Dnieper river?

Re: Sheldon Benjamin's shvitz search:

The NY Times recently ran a very positive piece on the 10
St Russian and Turkish Baths. (Good massages, good
company.) I haven't been there (yet). 273 E. 10 St
212-473-8806

I think Jerusalem has a Turkish Bath - are you there Bob
Werman?
