Ek het nie veel meer informasie nie. Ek neem
aan dit was 'n man vir wie Bleek ondervra het.
Ek neem aan dat Bleek dit in sy eie taal
(Nederlands of Duits, ek is nou nie seker nie,
opgeteken het, en dat Jack Cope dit in Engels
vertaal het.) Hier is nog een wat Bleek opgeteken
het. Dit lyk of vroue dit sing.
STAR SONG OF THE BUSHMAN WOMEN
related by Dai-Kwain
Does the lily flower open?
The daisy is the flower that opens.
And do you open?
The daisy is the flower that opens.
(Song sung by the star Gauun, and especially
by Bushman women: related by Dai-Kwain to
W.H.I. Bleek.)
