WotD: the whole tribe/clan/gang/etc.

  1. die ganze Mischpoke/Sippschaft
  2. de hele kliek/aanhang/misjpoge
  3. todo el clan
  4. tot el clan
  5. toute la tribu/smala/chibaigne (LF)
  6. an aicme go léir
  7. y llwyth cyfan
  8. cały szczep
  9. 온 가족
  10. 一家子 yījiāzi
Notes: 1. Also Muschpoke. May be pronounced with short stressed /ɔ/. 5. Smala is argot, from Ar. زملة "tribe". LA Fr. (spec. Lafourche Parish) chibaigne looks suspiciously like a derivative of Ir. síbín via Eng. shebang.

I didn't realize משפחה had been borrowed into standard German, if that's the etymology (as suggested by wikipedia). (It also seems a little odd to me that "ח" shows up as "k" and not "ch", but I know almost nothing about German phonology.)

Yeah, I found that odd, too. But one of the usage comments I read said this was specifically a North German word, so it's possible it was borrowed into a speech variety without /x/ and then from there in Standard German.
