Overview

This repository contains the digitised word list of the late-19^th century Enggano (collected in c1895 by Abs vd Noord) that appears in Stokhof and Almanar’s (1987) Holle List (cf. Stokhof 1980); this Enggano word list is included in the EnoLEX online database (Rajeg, Krauße, and Pramartha 2024; Krauße, Rajeg, et al. 2024; Krauße, Zobel, et al. 2024; Rajeg et al. 2025). The repository also provides the R codes to process the raw word list into tabular format, before being merged with the main, New Basic List (NBL) of the Holle List in Stockhof (1980), which provides the English and Indonesian glosses of the Enggano forms; the NBL itself has been digitised and available online as a webpage (cf. Rajeg 2023a).

Overall, the dataset in this repository is conformant to the specification of the Wordlist module in the Cross-Linguistic Data Formats (CLDF) (Forkel et al. 2018), and has been accepted into the Lexibank community on Zenodo.

The latest released version of this GitHub repository (v2.0.0) is also available on the Oxford Research Archive (ORA).
