| Summary: | indian n The spelling is from the sound of the word only. A kind of corn meal which was taken aboard a schooner by mistake for flour, in Hare Bay about 30 years ago. Possibly the words are a derivative of Indian meal, how- ever this is only a suggestion. Heard from James Feltham, student, aged 22 of Glovertown. He learned it from his father, also of Glovertown, who used it thirty years ago.0 Used I and Sup Not used 3 Not used [see'Indian Meal']~ cup/-hurt/jug/-pea/-pear/pipe/salad/tea/vervine/whort/hurt/lock/meal/papoose/racket/spear/string, RED INDIAN Checked by Sarah Budgell on Tue 17 Mar 2015
