r Scott, it is only fair to
cite his _Romano Lavo-Lil_, a book on the English Gypsy Language,
corresponding to his book on the _Zincali_ or Spanish Gypsies, but
published more than forty years later, namely in 1874. Here he relates
how he once trudged to Dryburgh "to pay my respects at the tomb of Sir
Walter Scott, a man with whose principles I have no sympathy, but for
whose genius I have always entertained the most intense admiration."

Petulengro and his wife Pakomovna are introduced to us in _Lavengro_
(chaps, v. and liv.). The etymology is thus explained by Borrow.
"Petulengro: A compound of the modern Greek [Greek text] and the Sanscrit
_kara_; the literal meaning being lord of the horse-shoe (_i.e_. maker),
it is one of the private cognominations of 'the Smiths,' an English gypsy
clan." Engro is apparently akin to the English suffix monger, and with
it may be compared the Anglo-Saxon suffix smith, in such words as lore-
smith or war-smith (warrior). Thus we have sapengro, lavengro, and
sherengro, head man. Of the gypsy tribes in England, Borrow in his
_Zincali_ (ed. 1846, Introd.) has the following: "The principal gypsy
tribes at present in existence are the Stanleys, whose grand haunt is the
New Forest; the Lovells, who are fond of London and its vicinity: the
Coopers, who call Windsor Castle their home; the Hernes, to whom the
