Since it is this week's parsha vayatzeh (2 of 3), I guess we should mention the greek words Chazal said were in the Torah. אימים hemiequus or hemienus; אחר - allo like in allosteric, the third word would be hydro for פרי הדר
I think there are a coup…

All bad thing and sorrows come from there. (Stay away from cemetaries.)

As you pointed out, the midrash about calev is one midrash out of ten thousand and what it means is not discussed in the gemara. The weakness of the other sources mentioned were also discussed. There is no mention at any place of anyone in the talmu…
The torah states explicitly that we do not talk or pray to the dead and we do not talk to people who talk or pray to the dead. You can't get anymore Canaanite religion than that. The talmud says nothing about it since apparantly it wasn't a big prob…
However, the majority of the Talmud discusses how to stay away from cemetaries. Do not look to cemetaries to answer your prayers (Rambam).
What we are seeing of course is the reviving of the superstitious ways of the people who worship the dead. Sin…
Although Judeo-German is not specifically my area of expertise, perhaps I can be of some help. What sort of texts are these? (Time period, place, etc.) Are they glosses in a commentary on Tanakh or on a Halakhic text?
Tell me some more about the words that remain unclear, and I'll see what I can do.
Be well & Shabbat Shalom,
Avi

There was an interesting comment about Dorketi that you might be interested. Read the first comment on this post:

That is it will be known in Rabim not pharhasia. Another type of public, it that a man does not have to deal with a suspected wife until the women who sit around together weaving at night are talking about it.
R. Kook once related about a trip to Houstin many years ago. He was concerned that people would see him riding to shul after candlelighting. Then he realized there were not 10 kosher Jews at the time in Houstin so it was not a problem.
Yes, that is correct, but we still see that we don't need ten people to start with. The matter will be made public if it's done in the presence of three.
