- 2005 August [2002], Ian F. Hancock, “Amari Čhib: Our language”, in We are the Romani people = Ame sam e Rromane džene, reprint edition (in English), University of Hertfordshire Press, →ISBN, page 143:
- Thus while many dialects have kept separate words for 'tree' and 'wood' (rukh and kašt), and for 'say' and 'tell' (phen- and phuker-), the words for 'tree' and 'tell' have been lost in the Vlax dialects, which have now generalized kašt and phen- respectively for both words.
