han≠kass'o (Klein Jantje) (VIII)

<i>Mat sieves said to be generally made by the Bushmen, but skin sieves by the Grass Bushmen and the Koranna-Hottentots. In English, after Díä!kwãin (L V.-25. VI note). Sieves supposed also to be used by the early race. By /han≠kass'o (L VIII.-27. 8391 and 8392).</i> |han≠kass'o describes some sieves (<i>!yuiten</i>) that he believes belonged to the Early Race of Bushmen. These sieves were used to sift <i>!haken</i> after digging it out.

1) See also a note by Dia!kwain in <i>The woman who was killed by the baboons</i> (p.5993opp) for a description of sieves made from matting (used by 'real Bushmen') and sieves made from skins used by Korannas and 'Grass Bushmen', 2) This story is found in Book VIII-27
