Is Rom specifically for men of the Roma people? I thought so, but am not sure. — DavidL 20:01 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Etymologically, yes. It means man or husband. However, according to the Wikipedia articles it applies to Roma in general. This is certainly plausible. The masculine often doubles as the unmarked form. -dmh 20:13, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

English: masculine singular is "Rom" and the plurals are "Roma" and "Roms". English doesn't have masculine nouns. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:13, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
