<font size=3>Whoa, great detective work, guys!<br><br>
When did the "Our Roots" project appear, and how is it related
to canadiana.org?<br><br>
Regards,<br><br>
Jeff<br><br>
P.S. Perhaps I should put up the "Houts mystery dictionary"
again for possible identification; Francisc never got to see it. and am
not sure Leanne has--although it is almost certainly from outside her
neighborhood (looks like southern Puget Sound).<br><br>

I wonder to be the first one to notice that this word list with
anonymous<br>
author is identical with that of A.C. Anderson (San Francisco,
California:<br>
J.J. LeCount, 1857). Even the titles are identical: “Chinook
Jargon:<br>
Language used by the Different Indian Tribes, French and Half-Breeds
of<br>
Frazer's River, Puget Sound and Surrounding Country, as the Means
of<br>
Conversation with Americans”. The photocopy of Anderson’s wordlist
is<br>
available on-line at the following website:<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font size=3>Thus we have here
another lineage of CJ dictionaries, distinct from<br>
the “Gibbs-Shaw-Gill lineage”. It is less elaborate, with few examples
and<br>
no etymologies, but plenty of typos.<br>
However, they are valuable since they provide words not found in
the<br>
classical “Gibbs-Shaw-Gill lineage”-dictionaries (like the Salishan<br>
Stowbelow for “North” and Stegwaak for “South”, some animal names,
incl.<br>
birds, etc.)<br><br>
