VAiiEiapopatecbue ~of setter-syntax. and
. , Sounds. .
For an uneducated, half-wild and
justly mistrusted people like the gyp-
sies, it is almost a necessity of exist-
ence that the several tribes should
have some means of communicating
with each other. which would attract
very little attention on the part of out‘
adders—information, warnings, direc-
tion, etc._ ' '
Let us give an example. In the be-
ginning of September, 1890, a gypsy
family passed through the village of
N.. in Germany. Not far from the
point at which they left the village the
road divides into three branches, and
any other gypsy or tribe ofg‘ypsies fol-
lowing their tracks would look for a.
“sign” here.
There is a. :tree at the fork of the
roads, and the gypsy’s eye is quick to
detect four long,~flat stones piled one
on the other. They are so covered
with dirt that the ordinary traveler
would hardly disturb them, and it
would most likely. escape his notice
that eaeh stene has a. horse hair tied
around it. Near at hand a little branch
with three twigs is stuck into the
ground, and the middle twig points in
the direction of the right-handroad.
A small piece of leather is nailed on
~ the tree, and is seen on inspection to
have several stitches of red wool, a.
square hole and two round holes. A
small charred elder stick with a. straw
and two red threads looped together is
stuck behind the leather, along with a.
small birch twig with two loose red
threads. *
The gypsy, however, in search of a
“sign” reads the message without diffi-
culty, and thus interprets it for the
benefit of his comrades: .
“The chief of the tribe of our pres
decessors informs us that his wife is
dead, his son arrested, and that we
.must all be on our guard, as the au-
thorities charge us with theft. “To
have taken the ‘ road to the- right, and,
passing through the next town to the
second village beyond, we purpose re-
maining there until September 16.”
Each tribe has its own distinctive
mark or totem, which, in the case in
point, was the horse hair. The four
stones bound with horse hair signified
that the communication was intended
for members of the communicant’s own
tribe and no other.
The direction of the middle twig in-
dicated the road taken; the long stones,
too, were so laid as to indicate the
direction of route.
The charred elder twig with straw
signified death; _ the red color is the
sign of the chief,’ and the two knotted
threads signify the chief’s wife. The
birch branch denotes an arrest, and
the two separate red threads signify
that it is the son' of the chief who has
been arrested. Three threads would
signify a grandson. , ~
The employment of skin or leather
signifies a request to meet for commun-
ication on important matters. The
stitches give the time. Time is reck-
oned from the’tliree high feast days
and from St. Michael’s day as follows:
The long stitches, show the number of
Sunday’s since the first great feast,
and the square stitches the week days.
The piece of leather in this case had
sixteen long stitches and two square
stitches. It is, therefore, the Tuesday
following the' sixteenth Sunday after
Easter, that was the 16th of September,
which was fixed as the limit of stay.
The square holes in the leather sig-
nify towns, the round holes , villages.
Beyond the next town a. smaller piece
of leather will befound attached to a
tree, but there will be no square hole
in it, and- the reader knows that the
second village on the road will be the
meeting place. Any kind of filth is
employed to prevent the signs being
molested.
As a charred elder stick signifies
death, so a green one signifies sickness.
Several notches in the twig, with
straw, signifies a broken arm; without
straw, a broken leg. A fir twig Signi-
fies an engagement; awillow twig with
a. red or white thread the birth of a. boy
or girl; an oak twig, the return of a.
messenger to his family. A bunch of
dog’s hair is an intimation to those fole
lowing to change their course.
glass fragments announce the death of
large fragments that a domestic ani-
Clean fragments denote a. horse, dirty
fragments a pig.
Of the chemical, marks made by gyp‘
sies on buildings, a. cross indicates
"nothing to. be got there;” a double
cross that you may look out for harsh
treatment; a. cross within a circle inti-
mates a. desire for revenge on the occu‘
pants of the house; a circle alone,
that presents Were received there; a
triangle, that money may be had for
fortune telling; two serpentine lines,
that the mistress would like children;
a triangle including a serpentine line,
that the master of the house is dead.
In this manner the Wanderer manages
ination to those who come after, which
the fortune tellers of the second group
people, who little suspect~ that their
affairs are published on their house
walls.
On the march two whistles and two
owl hoots intimate to the approaching
gypsy that he is near a suitable resting
place; a. whistle alternating with a
cuckoo call is a. signal of danger. Rapid
waving of both arms is equally a. signal
of danger. Raising the left arm signi-
fies ‘fthe road is open,” raising the
right warms to caution. _
In the presence of a. stranger, the
movement of the little finger of the
right hand informs the others that the
stranger is looking for stolen goods.
The betrayal of these signs by gypa
sies to non-gypsies is very rare. Even
excommunicated’gypsies are very care-
ful neither to betray the secrets of
their people nor to destroy their sign-
writing, being convinced that they
would thus render themselves liable to
evil demons and misfortunesel‘l. X.
