The 'clobber' (old clothes) which
have been presented by charitable persons
are exchanged and sold, broken
meat and scraps of bread (' Bull and
MUNJARI they are called) are given
out liberally, and the blind men and
cripples are the jolliest crowd imaginable.

some of the needies there for nova

1864. Times, i 8 Oct. Another
curious instance of the prevalence of
this Lingua Franca is the word illungarly,
as representing bread or food.
MUNGARLY CASA is a baker's shop,
evidently a corruption of some Lingua
Franca phrase for an eating-house.
The well-known Nix Alangiare stairs
at Malta derive their name from the
endless beggars who lie there and shout
Nix Mangiare,' i.e., 'Nothing to eat,'
to excite the compassion of the English
who land there—an expression which
exhibits remarkably the mongrel composition
of the Lingua Franca, manglare
being Italian, and nix an evident
importation from Trieste or other
Austrian seaport.
