"Here lies a perfect and upright man the scholar, our teacher Mordechai Zwi son of R. Jesse Jonasawicz (Jonasowicz) Jonasewicz Jonasowitz He died 24th Adar 5685. May his soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life." The Aleph can be either an /a/ or /o/, so both readings are possible - but surely one must be more accurate Polish name. translated by Heidi Szpek hszpek@aol.com
