DESCR:A collection of mid-size vocabularies from 12 "Bushman" dialects (several North, South, and Central Khoisan idioms are represented), with most of the data collected by D. Bleek herself. Not as thorough as Bleek 1956, and even less reliable in regards to data transcription, but the English-Bushman data organization principle makes it a useful source to consult in the preparation of Swadesh wordlists.

DESCR:Very brief notes on ǀʼAuni grammar and a mini-selection of texts, accompanied by a vocabulary of several hundred lexical items. Based on D. Bleek's own research with ǀʼAuni speakers in 1936, significantly superior to the results of her earlier work in 1911, published in [Bleek 1929].
NAME:Bleek 1956
AUTHOR:Bleek, Dorothea F.
FULL:A Bushman Dictionary.
DATA:New Haven, Connecticut: American Oriental Society.
DESCR:A huge (almost 700 pages) collection of comparative data on Khoisan that includes both Dorothea F. Bleek's own collection and data from numerous other researchers published up until the 1930s (W. Bleek, L. Lloyd, etc.). Transcription quality varies in between all the different sources, but is generally unreliable, quite typical of all Khoisan data published before the second half of the XXth century. Nevertheless, the edition still contains a wealth of priceless data, particularly on extinct North and South Khoisan languages.
