Can anyone point me to a good dictionary of
gypsy/Rom/Zingali?
In fact, *anything other than George Borrow's +Romano Lavo-Lil+.
i know of Hippocrene Gypsy: Gypsy<>English Concise Dictionary which covers
a Bulgarian gyspy vocabulary of Sofia Erli dialect and the Christian gypsies
of Sliven.
Off-question, I happen to have been reading a lot of George Borrow recently.
I particularly like the way that The Romany Rye begins with a description of
cutting down "the axle tree".
And The Bible In Spain is proving to be bizarrely enchanting...
