Its an extraordinary work: most plants have local glosses in Kuanua, Pala
(Patpatar), and Lamekot (East Kara) plus some other
languages.<br><br>
from the intro notes: by Sleumer<br>
Peekel was in NI and NB from 1904-1928, in Germany on study leave in
1929, back in NI from 1930? until the War. Peekel survived the
Japanese occupation, and he died in 1949 in Rabaul. <br><br>
He also wrote a “Comparative Dictionary of 40 Pacific Languages”, and
“Investigations on the development and significance of Pacific
vocabularies” - 6 volumes in manuscript were, as they say, “unfortunately
lost in the war”<br><br>
