Another Derivation

To the Editor of the "Nomru-Cunsa Dany News"

Sim—Since first coming to the East about 25 years ago, "T took It for granted that everyone knew that *Maskee" is merely a corrupted or abbreviated inds que, which in Spanish snd what about it?" or "Why oe, "What does tt matter?*

Simiisrly "Savvy" is merely des-conded from the Spanish saber i.e. the Infinitive of "to know". Hence, when" one hears" the expression "Saw?" addressed to anyone (not 'a high-class expression) the Intended' meaning is "Now you know it"
