_Rowan_ is given by Pott as equivalent to the Latin _ululatus_, which constituted a very respectable _row_ as regards mere noise.

"Rowdy" comes from "row" and both are very good Gipsy in their origin.

In Hindustani _Rao mut_ is "don't cry!" CHIVVY is a common English vulgar word, meaning to goad, drive, vex, hunt, or throw as it were here and there.

It is purely Gipsy, and seems to have more than one root.

_Chiv_, _chib_, or _chipe_, in Rommany, mean a tongue, inferring scolding, and _chiv_ anything sharp-pointed, as for instance a dagger, or goad or knife.
