Vocabularial

[I]n spite of serious losses by the way, the dialects of Central and Northern Europe ‘as spoken to-day’ excel in vocabularial purity those of the more primitive Bulgarian and Rumanian Gypsies.

An interesting little book, full of chunks of undigested material, with terrible terminological wrappings, hardly worth the time and effort of untying the packages and seeing what they contain. In saying this we are not unmindful that the author herself provides a glossary to aid us in this procedure. This glossary, however, is more of an index than an explanation of her vocabularial eccentricities.

To avoid misunderstanding I should explain that at her present vocabularial level she makes occasionally a confusion of the limbs.
