[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] what is?

[George Shoning]

>From Eugene Ehrlich in Amo, Amas, Amat and More  nunc dimittis means "permission to leave". 
 "From Luke: nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine (SEHR-wuum TOO-uum DAW-mih-neh), 'Lord, now let they servant depart.'  To receive one's nunc dimittis is, therefore, to receive permission to depart."
