Synopsis
Excerpt from A Bushman Dictionary
As time wore on Dr. Bleck became increasingly conscious of the exigencies of this new field of study, so that Bushman from being a mere diversion from his main occupations became the primary object of research. In.l866 he examined the speech of two other Cape Bushmen one of whom was of mixed parentage, and although a substantial amount of material was collected - this also included a vocabulary of words without clicks Bleek's assiduity and painstaking nature had clearly not yet reaped its reward. The matter of adequately distinguishing between the clicks and other difficult sounds still proved a great obstacle.
