פירוש על ברכות 105:25
Abraham Cohen Footnotes to the English Translation of Masechet Berakhot
An exclamation meaning "healing," when somebody sneezed. J. T. Chap, vi, has the Greek word ἴησις in place of the Hebrew marpe'. See J. E. II. p. 255. In Tosifta Shab. viii. 5, it is denounced as a superstitious custom. On the Eastern etiquette in the event of one sneezing, see Lane, p. 210.
