The Hungarian gypsies are divided into tribes, and one of these, the Kukaya, believes itself to be descended from the Pçuvushi, or earth-fairies, according to the following story, narrated by Dr. H. von Wlislocki in his paper on the genealogy and family relations of the Transylvanian Tent Gypsies:-- "Many thousand years ago there were as yet in the world very few Pchuvushi. These are beings of human form dwelling under the earth. There they have cities, but they very often come to the world above. They are ugly, and their men are covered with hair. (All of this indicates a prehistoric subterranean race like the Eskimo, fur-clad. [12]) They carry off mortal girls for wives. Their life is hidden in the egg of a black hen." This is the same as that of the Orco or Ogre in the Italian tale, "I Racconti delle Fate, Cesare da Causa," Florence, 1888. Whoever kills the hen and throws the egg into a running stream, kills the pchuvush. "Once a young Pchuvush woman came up to the world and sat in a fair green forest. She saw a very beautiful youth sleeping in the shade, and said: 'What happiness it must be to have such a husband. Mine is so ugly!' Her husband, who had stolen silently after her, heard this, and reflected: 'What a good idea it would be to lend my wife to this young man till she shall have borne a family of beautiful children! Then I could sell them to my rich Pchuvus friends.' So he said to his wife: 'You may live with this youth for ten years if you will promise to give me either the boys or the girls which you may bear to him.' She agreed to this. Then the Pchuvus began to sing:-- "'Kuku, kukáya Kames to adala? Kuku, kukaya.' "That is in English:-- "'Kuku, kukaya Do you want this (one) here? Kuku, kukaya.' "Then the young man awoke, and as the goblin offered him much gold and silver with his wife, he took her and lived with her ten years, and every year she bore him a son. Then came the Pchuvush to get the children. But the wife said she had chosen to keep all the sons, and was very sorry but she had no girls to give him! So he went away sorrowfully, howling:-- "'Kuku, kukáya! Ada kin jirklá! Kuku, kukaya!' "That is to say:-- "'Kuku, kukaya! These are dogs here! Kuku, kukaya!' "Then the ten boys laughed and said to their father: 'We will call ourselves Kukaya.' And so from them came the race." Dr. Wlislocki points out that there are races which declare themselves to be descended from dogs, or, like the Romans, from wolves. It is a curious coincidence that the Eskimo are among the former.
