Gede Primahadi Wijaya Rajeg digitised, curated, and published the late 19th-century Enggano word list (investigated in 1895 by Abs vd Noord) (see Rajeg 2023b).

Rajeg, Gede Primahadi Wijaya. (2023). CLDF dataset of the Enggano word list from 1895 in Stokhof and Almanar's (1987) Holle List (1.0.0) [Data set]. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8038975 https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:070e5dd2-512f-4c2b-812d-f24bb944a81f https://github.com/engganolang/holle-list-enggano-1895

This word list appeared in Stokhof and Almanar (1987: 189-205, list no. 24) which is part of the larger Holle List series (Stokhof 1980; see Rajeg 2023a for the digitised, searchable version of the Holle List), the collection of word lists in the Indonesian archipelago.

The original version of the Enggano word list is not matched with the Dutch, English, and Indonesian translations in the reference Holle List (Stokhof 1980; Rajeg 2023a), but appears as a separate publication (Stokhof and Almanar 1987: 189-205). However, the Enggano words in the list are provided with Index numbers (see the digitised and annotated raw file) and these IDs originally should be matched "manually" with the Index number of their Dutch, English and Indonesian translations in the reference Holle List. As part of the current AHRC project, we digitised the reference Holle List as well as this Enggano word list to enable computational and automatic matching between the Enggano words and their translations in Dutch, English, and Indonesian in the reference Holle List. This published dataset also comes with the programmatic R codes to process the raw, line-based Enggano word list into a table and then match it with the corresponding translations in the reference Holle List. The Enggano word list in this dataset (see the .csv file here) is conformant to the Cross-Linguistic Data Format (CLDF) specification (Forkel et al. 2018) and we provided the Python code to validate the CLDF specification of the dataset.
