Mohel (מוהל) is word of Hebrew origin.

  • Hebrew = MŌ-hell. Furthermore, many Israelis drop the "h" sound, making it MŌ-ell.
  • Yiddish = depends on the dialect, but most dialects of Yiddish pronounce it "Moil".

Note: English-speaking Jews usually use the Yiddish pronunciation when inserting the word into English.

What do you call a female nebbish?

Nebbish is an American word, not a Hebrew or Yiddish one. They pronounce it that way because of the difficulty in enunciating the "kh" sound. The original word is "nebbikh", a Yiddish word meaning "pitiable"; originating in the Hebrew "navokh" which means confused. I don't think the Yiddish colloquialism has a female counterpart.
