SMITH COMMENT:
’Blackburn’s word list seems to be copied (selectively, or at an early stage) directly from William Dawes b 1791 alphabetical pages. Dawes has many more words. The printed version of this vocabulary is riddled with errors in transcription, eg Brangia and Brange for the first two words! Note the howler 18.23 ’a spell on the womara’ - rather than a shell! With the use of a magnifying glass, it can be seen that Blackwell’s original ’ee’ was often transcribed as ’u’.’
