| Description: | The first Eyak word ever written down. 1 Ts. A Vocabulary of Prince William's Land by William Anderson, Surgeon and naturalist on James Cook's Resolution voyage in Alaska, 1778. Anderson compiled a 25 word list, 8 of which are Dena'ina. Of the remaining 16 words, 10 are Chugach Yupik and 2 could be either Yupik or Eyak and 3 are not Yupik but could be Eyak. The original ms by Anderson was lost but editor Douglas published it in A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean, Vol. 2 (Cook and King, 1784) p. 375-376. Walker and Strange had Cook's book on their expedition and elicited the Eyak word A ka'shou. 2 Michael Krauss and Jeff Leer annotations on printed list. 3 Michael Krauss notes, 4 p. 4 Correspondence between Michael Krauss and C.F. David, 1982. 4p. ca.18 p. Comments: Michael Krauss urges caution on any data supplied by Peter A Lanyon-Orgill who claimed that his ancestor was on Cooks Expedition and left him a wordlist which mysteriously was sold and disappeared. Krauss strongly suspects Lanyon-Orgill to be a fraud. M. Krauss 2014 Citation: Cook, J. (1784).
