The Ichneumon's speech when |kaggen (the Mantis) had taken away the Meerkats' possessions
Wilhelm Bleek notebooks
kabbo (Jantje) (II)
The Ichneumon's speech, when the Mantis had deprived the Suricats of their possessions, is in the curious language in which the Ichneumon is supposed to speak, and in which all the clicks are converted into sounds like ts, tsy, ty, dy, etc., and other modifications also take place. (B XXIV. 2251-2255).
