    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".
