In Lavengro (or is it Romany Rye?) there is an impossible character, a victim of insomnia, who finds that a volume of Wordsworth's poems is the only sure soporific; but that was Borrow s malice.
舊的形容詞“Romany”或新出現的“Romani”可以當名詞使用,這樣比較好(本報也比較傾向於這種用法),但也同樣很棘手。
The old adjective “Romany” or the newer “Romani” can be used as a noun, which is better (and preferred by this newspaper), but still tricky.
Strangely in an age that prizes gender-neutral language, that is the literal plural of "Rom", a Romany word meaning man or husband.
