Why “pavee” is a great word
PAVEE — [Noun] A member of the Irish Traveller community, Ireland’s indigenous, traditionally nomadic ethnic minority. From Shelta, the cryptolect spoken by the Irish Traveller community. Unlike “Gypsy,” which specifically denotes the Romani people, an Indo-Aryan ethnic group, or “itinerant,” a general term for a traveling laborer lacking ethnic ties, pavee asserts a specific, indigenous identity. It is the scent of damp turf smoke from a barrel-top caravan, the rhythmic clang of a tinsmith’s hammer, and the low, watchful murmur of Shelta at a horse fair—a name spoken from the inside, marking a world apart within the green fields of Ireland.
