On this point my memory is positive, and I call attention to it, since the word in question has been the subject of much conjecture in America.
It is a very curious fact, that while the word _loot_ is unquestionably Anglo-Indian, and only a recent importation into our English "slanguage," it has always been at the same time English-Gipsy, although it never rose to the surface.
MAUNDER, to stroll about and beg, has been derived from _Mand_, the Anglo- Saxon for a basket, but is quite as likely to have come from Maunder, the Gipsy for "to beg." Mumper, a beggar, is also from the same source.
MOKE, a donkey, is _said_ to be Gipsy, by Mr Hotten, but Gipsies themselves do not use the word, nor does it belong to their usual language.

The proper Rommany word for an ass is _myla_.
PARNY, a vulgar word for rain, is supposed to have come into England from the "Anglo-Indian" source, but it is more likely that it was derived from the Gipsy _panni_ or water.

"Brandy pawnee" is undoubtedly an Anglo-Indian word, but it is used by a very different class of people from those who know the meaning of _Parny_.
POSH, which has found its way into vulgar popularity, as a term for small coins, and sometimes for money in general, is the diminutive of the Gipsy word _pashero_ or _poshero_, a half-penny, from _pash_ a half, and _haura_ or _harra_, a penny.
QUEER, meaning across, cross, contradictory, or bad, is "supposed" to be the German word _quer_, introduced by the Gipsies.

In their own language _atut_ means across or against, though to _curry_ (German and Turkish Gipsy _kurava_), has some of the slang meaning attributed to _queer_.

An English rogue will say, "to shove the queer," meaning to pass counterfeit money, while the Gipsy term would be to _chiv wafri lovvo_, or _lovey_.
"RAGLAN, a married woman, originally _Gipsy_, but now a term with English tramps" (_The Slang Dictionary_, _London_ 1865).
