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.

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.
