Not I. If I could write lils, every word should be about myself and my own tacho Rommanis my own lawful wedded wife, which is the same thing. I tell you what, brother, I once heard a wise man say in Brummagem, that 'there is nothing like blowing one's own horn, which I conceive to be much the same thing as writing one's own lil." After a little more conversation, Mr.
Gipsies do not, however, seem to regard it themselves, as tacho or true Rommanis, despite this testimony, and I am inclined to think that it partly originated in some wag's perversion of the French word chose. In London, a man who sells cutlery in the streets is called a CHIVE FENCER, a term evidently derived from the Gipsy chiv, a sharp-pointed instrument or knife.
Suddenly I suppose because a doubt of my perfect Freemasonry had been aroused by my absurd question he said, holding up a kettle "What do you call this here in Rommanis?" "I call it a kekavi or a kavi," I said. "But it isn't right Rommany. It's Greek, which the Rommanichals picked up on their way here."
Rya," he exclaimed, with an air of placid triumph, "do you think the head-police his selfus would a spoke in them wery words to me if he hadn't a thought I was a good man?" "Well, let's get to work, old Honesty. What is the Rommanis for to hide?" "To gaverit is to hide anything, rya. Gaverit." And to illustrate its application he continued
That was when I was a small boy, for my father always would do it. "And we do it because people say our Saviour, the small God, was born on the Great Day, in the field, out in the country, like we Rommanis, and he was brought up by an ash-fire." Here a sudden sensation of doubt or astonishment at my ignorance seemed to occur to my informant, for he said, "Why, you can see that in the Scriptures!"
Let us suppose that I am asking some kushto Rommany chal for a version of AEsop's fable of the youth and the cat. He is sitting comfortably by the fire, and good ale has put him into a story-telling humour. I begin "Now then, tell me this adree Rommanis, in Gipsy Once upon a time there was a young man who had a cat." Gipsy. "Yeckorus 'pre yeck cheirus a raklo lelled a matchka"
'Not he, said the other, with a sigh; 'he'll have quite enough to do in writing his own lils, and telling the world how handsome and clever he was; and who can blame him? Not I. If I could write lils, every word should be about myself and my own tacho Rommanis my own lawful wedded wife, which is the same thing.
And yeck ratti my dadas, sixty besh kenna, was pirryin' par the weshes to tan, an' he shooned a bitti gudlo like bitti ranis a rakkerin' puro tacho Rommanis, and so he jalled from yeck boro rukk to the waver, and paul' a cheirus he dicked a tani rani, and she was shellin' avree for her miraben, "Rom-ma-ny, Rom-ma-ny jo-ter!" So my dada shokkered ajaw, "Rom-ma-ny chal, ak-ai!"
An' you can dick by dovo that the kukalos, an' fairies, an' mullos, and chovihans all rakker puro tacho Rommanis, 'cause that's the old 'Gyptian jib that was penned adree the Scripture tem. If a Gipsy is lost and cannot find his way in the night, he cries out, "Hup, hup Rom-ma-ny, Rom-ma-ny jo-ter!" When the children cannot find the tent, it is the same cry, "Rom-ma-ny jo-ter!"
'Your health, gentlemen, said I, as I took the cup which Mr. Petulengro handed to me. 'Aukko tu pios adrey Rommanis. Here is your health in Rommany, brother, said Mr. Petulengro; who, having refilled the cup, now emptied it at a draught. 'Your health in Rommany, brother, said Tawno Chikno, to whom the cup came next. 'The Rommany Rye, said a third.
