Discussion

This term is frequently translated as "transmigrator" or "migrator" but these words seems somewhat clumsy and unpoetic in English. I would suggest that the translation "wanderer" is a bit more evocative. DKC

Note -- But that's not the meaning, 'gro ba is a short form of skye 'gro and hence means "living being", and is used in this much more generic sense in most contexts. [Erick Tsiknopoulos]
