  • Date: 1965
  • Contributors: Lawrence Joseph (consultant); Gladwyn Kingsley Noble Jr. (researcher); Manjari Ohala (donor)
  • Language: Wapishana (wap)
  • Place: Rupununi River, Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo, Guyana
  • Description: File 2018-03.009_A begins with Lawrence Joseph checking the Wapishana lexical data in William Farabee's (1918) publication, covering the range of the alphabet beginning with <m>. He reads the English and then provides the Wapishana form, indicating whether Farabee was correct. File 2018-03.008_B continues with the same configuration, but is interrupted by a rainstorm beginning at 08'02" and continuing until 23'58". This alphabet range appears to correspond to unknown notes that end on July 25, 1965.
