Details
- Abstract / Summary
- Six pages contain two typed copies each of two texts in the Trobriand language, with simultaneous English transliteration. The first, headed 'Text CXXXV [135]' concerns the special canoe-launching privilege of a particular Trobriand clan due to the particular powers of their guardian spirits, and is followed by a free translation and analysis. The first page is numbered 231 and contains a reference to 'p. 305' in the upper left corner, suggesting it is in support of a manuscript book or lecture. Date: 11.8.18. Place: Sinaketa (Kiriwina). Informant: Toybayoba. The copies of the second text, numbered CXL contain a Trobriand Islander's account of planting a coconut, apparently retyped field notes. The initial pages are numbered 240 - typed or written - and contain the typed note 'p. 308,' in the upper left corner. At the bottom of the initial page is a footnote suggesting comparison to Text CXLI. Both sets of text copies are also duplicates of texts found in previous documents.
