{317b} _Kali foki_. _Kalo_ means, as in Hindustani, not only black, but
also lazy. Pronounced _kaw-lo_.
{319a} _Gorgio_. Gentile; any man not a gypsy. Possibly from _ghora
aji_ "Master white man," Hindu. Used as _goi_ is applied by Hebrews to
the unbelievers.
{319b} _Romeli_, _rom'ni_. Wandering, gypsying. It is remarkable that
_remna_, in Hindu, means to roam.
{320} _Chollo-tem_. Whole country, world.
{324} There is a great moral difference, not only in the gypsy mind, but
in that of the peasant, between stealing and poaching. But in fact, as
regards the appropriation of poultry of any kind, a young English gypsy
has neither more nor less scruple than other poor people of his class.
{325} _Man lana_, Hindostani: to set the heart upon. _Manner_, Eng.
Gyp.: to encourage; also, to forbid.
{327} _Chovihan_, m., _chovihani_, fem., often _cho'ian_ or _cho'ani_, a
witch. Probably from the Hindu _'toanee_, a witch, which has nearly the
same pronunciation as the English gypsy word.
{335} _Travels in Beloochistan and Scinde_, p. 153.
{341a} English gypsies also call the moon _shul_ and _shone_.
{341b} _Tales and Traditions of the Eskimo_, by Dr. Henry Rink. London
1875, p. 236.
