In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Appendix 4: Tallies and Selected Commentary The tables below are arranged by question number according to the order asked in the interview. The tallies give the number of non-dubious occurrences of each variant. There may be responses with commentary that are doubtful for some reason and thus are not listed in the tally. Due to limitations of space, only select commentary could be included. Comments have been edited and not all are included here. Condensed comments like "also SelA" denote the same comment given for the same variant. An open or closing parenthesis alone denotes that the preceding or following material forms part of the sentence in which the informant used the word; for example, the phrase "two-seater)" with the variant privy means that the speaker said "two-seater privy". None of the standard comments coded in the database (OLD, SUG, AUX, etc.) is noted below. Cultivated informants were previously marked with "!". An index follows in Appendix 5, listing each variant with its question number. Appendices 2 and 3 may also be cross-referenced by question number. NA = Not Answered NR = No Response 1.
