This paper analyzes the animal life-form lexicon of Calo, the variety of Romany spoken by the Gitanos or Spanish Gypsies, from the viewpoint of evolutionary ethnoscience. The zoological life-form labels of the Calo materials collected by George Borrow are compared to those of contemporary Castilian. After 400 years of language contact, the structure and content of the life-form categories of both languages appear to represent end products of separate evolutionary events which are best explained by sequencing and naming behavior rules as posited by Cecil Brown and not as results of direct borrowing between languages.
