Just noticed something. Was reading up on some Roman history. The story of Marcus Furius Camillus, second founder of Rome because the Gauls had come down and raided the Italian peninsula. Camillus was able to defend against the first major wave, but was then exiled for handing over the spoils of war to the temple for the gods. The Gauls returned under a commander called Brennus who sacked Rome hard. The senators were negotiating a deal giving them gold but the scales were rigged in favor of the gauls, when they complained, Brennus told them "Vae victis!" and threw his sword on the scale. The Romans had to get more gold. Camiluss returns and defeats Brennus. Anyway, Vae and Vey. You see what I mean?

Vae Victis = Woe to the vanquished

Oy Vey = Woe is me

Language was very similar but written is different. How come the yiddish say VEY like VAE. Why are Gauls, ancient France, saying it like that as well. And then Vae is actually latin.
