It’s been a bit more than a month since last time, but once again
here’re the current Google rankings for the various spellings of that
polymorphic proper name.

google.com:
Athabaskan: 160,000
Athabascan: 161,000
Athapaskan: 117,000
Athapascan: 216,000

google.ca:
Athabaskan: 645,000
Athabascan: 161,000
Athapaskan: 117,000 (dym: Athabaskan)
Athapascan: 216,000

Previously: http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1002d&L=athapbasckan-l&T=0&F=&S=&P=96

I note the loss of “did you mean” for the US site (google.com) and for
“Athapascan” for the Canadian site (google.ca). The huge number of
hits for “Athabaskan” for the Canadian site is almost certainly due to
the HMCS Athabaskan which has been in the news since the earthquake in
Haiti (lately less so, however).

Oh yeah, and

Athapbasckan: 323

Cheers,
James
