Some of the spelling in the log books can be curious, some words are difficult to trace.
Please post those language oddities here.

What would be useful is the word...

• typed as seen in the log
• what it was likely to have been
• the name of the whaler
• the date that you first spot the error (no need to provide every time it appears)
• the URL for that page

Thank you!

Typed as seen	| likely to be*	| Whaler's name	| date noted	| URL for that page
