InOBU: "Gadjen" is the Rom word for non Gypsies? Interesting--it's so close to the Japanese word for non-Japanese: Gai-jin ("jin" is person in Japanese; "gai," of course, means foreign: hence, to a Japanese, any other country is a "gai-koku"--do you think there could be any etymological relationship?
