The ledger contains summaries from fieldnotes on nine languages of Western Australia, and a "Malj" wordlist, given to an informant by "spirits." The languages concerned are: Njaŋumada (retroflex /d/), Yulbaridja (alt. Jülbaridja), Wanman, Garayara (alt. Garajara, Garijera), Yindjibaņdi (alt. Jindjibandi), Maŋala, Njamal, Malj (the "spirit" language), Ŋaluma and Ŋala. Also, very small amounts of material on Luritja and Gugadja and Walmajarri (written Walmacarri).
Languages are keyed as follows:
Njaŋumada -- NJAŊ
Yulbaridja -- YU
Wanman -- WA
Garayara -- GA
Yindjibaņdi -- YI
Maŋala -- MA
Njamal -- NJAM
Ŋaluma -- ŊALU
Ŋala -- ŊALA
Luritja -- LU
Gugadja -- GU
Walmajarri -- WAL
Index
pages 5-191 -- NJAŊ. All very much a work in progress, but packed with information. The word list at the beginning was later checked in 1967 with informants JB and Bronco at La Grange. Annotations from this period are in red and include ammendments to the initial transcription, comments on words that were not recognised in 1967, or had different meanings. The red annotations finish on p. 66. There also seem to be several other stages of annotation, not datable but probably pre 1967. From p. 307 onwards the data is from 1967.
