  • Description: File 2018-03.010_A begins with Lawrence Joseph checking the Wapishana lexical data in William Farabee's (1918) publication, covering the range of the alphabet summarized as "stout-wash." 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 and alphabet range "wash-z." (This alphabet range appears to correspond to unknown notes that end on July 27, 1965.) At 17'05" Lawrence Joseph carries out lexical elicitation on Atorai with Christine George, providing English and then Wapishana terms.
