ǂHoan-Cornell = Click accompaniments in ǂHoan. Formerly available at the Khoisan site of Conrell University, now at: http://web.archive.org/web/20060907122603/ling.cornell.edu/khoisan/hoan/hoan_sounds.htm. // A collection of approximately one hundred examples of click-containing lexemes in ǂHoan, illustrated by sound files. Probably (like most published ǂHoan material) taken from J. Gruber's fieldwork, although the proper credits are lacking on-line.

Note: The main primary source of ǂHoan data for this database is J. Gruber's field research, scattered among his own publications as well as works by C. Collins and H. Honken. Where such data happen to be unavailable, we agree to fill in the slot from data taken from the phonetically much less reliable collection of A. Traill, always marking it with the uncertainty sign (#).
