why was Liesl called salmage?

There was no explanation why she was called salmage by Rudy or her family? Was it a term of endearment?

I think you have the above word spelled incorrectly. Do you mean "Saumensch?"

If so, this word in meant as an insult. It is not an endearment.

What is a term for endearment?
