_Gypsies._--The Indian origin of the numerals of this people is evident
from the following comparison:
Sanscrit. Hungarian Spanish
Gypsy. Gitano.
1. eka jek yeque
2. dwaou dui dui
3. traya trin trin
4. tchatouara schtar estar
5. panyntcha pansch pansche
6. chach tschov job
7. sapta efta hefta
8. achtaou ochto otor
9. nava enija esnia
10. dasa doesch deque
The Sanscrit must be read with a French pronunciation, being from
Balbi's _Atlas Ethnographique_; the Hungarian Gypsy as German, and the
last as Spanish; the two latter are from Borrow's _Zuicali_, vol. ii. p.
