   I think the first word of the title is "Ruf" [call].   
      
   I recall on a long-ago trip touring Germany stopping a friend who should have   
   known better [he was a practicing Jew familiar with the Yiddish term "aufruf",   
   the calling-up of congregants to participate in the service] from pressing the   
   elevator button    
   marked "Notruf" [emergency call].  He said he thought it meant "ground floor".
