HERNE. Oxfordshire and London. "Of this name there are," says Borrow

(Romano Lavo-Lil), "two gypsy renderings: (1.) Rosar-mescro or

Ratzie-mescro, that is, _duck_-fellow; the duck being substituted for the

_heron_, for which there is no word in Romany, this being done because

there is a resemblance in the sound of Heron and Herne. (2.)

Balor-engre, or Hairy People, the translator having confounded Herne with

Haaren, Old English for hairs."

sometimes among themselves called _purum_, a _lee-k_, from the fancied

resemblance of the words.

LEWIS. Hampshire.

seven. In Romany Makkado-tan-engree, that is, Fellows of the Marshes.
