"I wonder if perhaps an Eastern European immigrant to America ever thought he heard "Onkelos translation" when someone mentioned an "English translation" to the Torah. Certainly Onkelos didn't know English, but their names might actually be related..." This calls to mind my late grandfather's 78 rpm record: "Der Onkel aus Amerika"
Interesting stuff here.
So Rashi in Ruth contradicts Baba Batra, or perhaps he would say עוגין is the plural form?
I'm guessing the former, since the gemara has the plural עוגינין.

My indo-european dictionary says otherwise, but I feel like English "hangnail" has to somehow be peripherally related to all those other "crooked" words, and not just to "eng-" = narrow.
