Definitions

Noun

    Any of several coded signs left along a road or on a non-Roma house by one Rom to another. The most common ones consist of crossed sprigs (usually of different trees or shrubs) indicating, for example, a direction travelled.

    "Follow the Romany Patteran / Sheer to the Austral Light, / Where the besom of God is the wild South wind, / Sweeping the sea-floors white."

Etymology

From Romani patrin (“leaf”), perhaps specifically from an inflected form like Vlax Romani pateryánsa.
