-sewer. {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. ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE GYPSIES*** ******* This file should be named 22939.txt or 22939.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/2/9/3/22939 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
