The term is mostly used by activists and it is unknown to most Roma, including relatives of victims and survivors. Some Russian and Balkan Romani activists protest against the use of the word "porajmos". In various dialects, "porajmos" is synonymous with "poravipe" which means "violation" and "rape", a term which some Roma consider offensive. János Bársony and Ágnes Daróczi, pioneering organisers of the Romani civil rights movement in Hungary, prefer the "Pharrajimos", a Romani word meaning "cutting up", "fragmentation", "destruction". They argue against using "porrajmos", saying it is "marhime" (unclean, untouchable): "orrajmos is unpronounceable in the Roma community, and thus is incapable of conveying the sufferings of the Roma".
