"Sheitel" is a word on the national spelling bee! Well, at least I can spell one of these words.

Ooh, I'd have to be careful even trying to pronounce that! :) How does it go?

Shay-tel. Easy-peasy!

It's a yiddish word, means a wig that a married orthodox women uses as a hair covering for modesty.

*notices above comment* I'd never have remembered that one.

Well, considering that my sister wears one, it would be odd for me not to remember. :)
