# Red beard

🏷 Adam Semitic pun · symbol — by Gerry · May 2024 · 130 words

Jews are often said to have red beards, even though real Jews do not have red beards very often. Since many aristocrats permanently live & hide as “Jews”, and even recruit spying agents from actual Jews, this may be a spook joke. The pun may be of dqn-ˀdm “red beard” with dq-n-dmˀ “watchman in disguise”.
