CHALI DEL BAHAR. _Arab._ _Bahar_ is “the sea” in Arabic; _shát_ is “the shore.” _Chali_ is possibly a misprint for this. CHALAN. _Span._ A jockey or horse-dealer. CHARDÍ, CHÁTI. _Rom._ A fair. I cannot find this word except in Borrow (Z. ii. * 36), though J. gives _chandí_. Borrow derives it from Hind, _chhetr_ = field. If so it is perhaps connected with _char_, _chor_ = grass. P. ii. 198; Pp. 529; M. vii. 29. Can it be the Persian _chatrí_—canopy, tent? CHARIPÉ, CHERIPEN. _Rom._ Bed, or bedstead. Hind. _charpoy_ = that which has four feet or legs. Borrow (Z. ii.* 37) wrongly suggests the Grk. κρεββάτι, though giving, as elsewhere (LL. 100), the right derivation. P. ii. 203; M. vii. 32. CHEGAR. _Port._ To arrive, land. CHENOURAIN. Synagogues. From _shanūra_, an Algerian or low Arabic word. CHI, CHICHÍ. _Rom._ Nothing. P. ii. 176; M. vii. 31. CHIBADO. _Rom._ Put into. From _chibar_, a word used in many senses. P. ii. 184. CHICA. _Span._ Little girl. Properly the fem. of the adj. _chico_, which is also used commonly for a boy, especially as a mode of address, or to call attention, _hé_, _chico_! CHICOTITO. _Span._ Dimin. of _chico_. A little fellow, dwarf. CHIM. _Rom._ Kingdom, country. P. ii. 295; M. viii. 82; Z. ii. * 38; and J. CHINDOMAR. _Rom._ A butcher. From _chinar_ = to cut. P. ii. 208; Pp. 538; M. vii. 33. CHINEL. _Rom._ A man of official position or rank. Especially an _alguacil_. Russ. _chin_, rank. P. ii. 204. CHINOBARÓ. _Rom._ A head official. Compounded of CHIN and BARO, _q.v._ CHIPE. _Rom._ Tongue, speech. P. ii. 216; M. vii. 31; SC. 64. CHIRIA. Borrow gives this as Sanscrit for “bird,” but I cannot find his authority. The Rom. word is _cziriklo_, _chiriclo_. See P. ii. 199. CHOR. _Rom._ _Subs._ a thief; _verb_, to steal. P. ii. 200; A. 46; Pp. 545–6; M. vii. 36. CHOZA. _Span._ A hut or small cottage. According to Dozy and Engelmann it is the Arab. _khas_. CHULÍ, plur. CHULÉ. _Rom._ A dollar. Span. _peso fuerte_. Borrow uses the word in his gypsy St. Luke, xv. 8, etc. P. ii. 205, has “_Chuli_ = _Groschen_,” and suggests a connexion with _tchulo_ = thick. It is tempting to compare the English slang “a thick ’un” = a sovereign. CHULÍ, CHURÍ. _Rom._ A knife. Hind. _churi_. P. ii. 210; Pp. 550; M. vii. 39. The form with L is only found in Spanish. Pott suggests that it is a corruption of _cuchillo_. In Z. ii. 148 it is given as _Germanía_, or thieves’ slang, and is probably their alteration of the correct _churí_. CHUQUEL. _Rom._ A dog. P. ii. 213; A. 64; Pp. 553; M. vii. 51; Z. ii. * 132. CIERRA! _Span._ “Close!” The war-cry of the Castilian chivalry; more fully, _Santiago_! _y cierra España_! CIERTO. _Span._ Sure, certain. CIERVO. _Span._ A stag. COCAL. _Rom._ A bone. P. ii. 92; A. 52; Pp. 289; M. vii. 85. COISA, COUSA. _Port._ A thing. COLEGIO. _Span._ A college. COMER. _Span._ and _Port._ To eat.
