In any case, the possible common Aryan source will tend to obscure the truth, just as it often does the derivation of Rommany words. But nothing can detract from the inexpressibly quaint spirit of Gipsy originality in which these odd credos are expressed, or surpass the strangeness of the reasons given for them.
Let us see if we cannot also derive them from the same historic origin. The apron evidently owes its adoption in Freemasonry to the use of that necessary garment by the operative masons of the middle ages.
