American Phrases Traced To lloois In Negro Tongues

CHICAGO. Oct. 21 —(AP) - A lore never revealed to white men has been wrcsted from his people by s painstaking Negro professor.

His search uncovered astonishing survivals of African culture and more than 4.000 African words, names and numbers still spoken Hmong 250,000 Negroes in a. corner 0f the United states. Dr. Lorenzo Dew Turner, 54- year-old professor of English at Roosevelt Collage. Chlcaz". worked 17 years-and learned 32 African languages-to make the discoveries. They lay bare the probable ex- Planaiion of some of the oldest and newest Americanlsms from "tot-e" i0 "Jllke box".

creatures that were his bu! friends. 'Tbe great herds of bu!- fslos that once roamed the prairies are gone. Gone, too, are, many fur-bearing animals ruthlessly slaughtered to satisfy Dame, Fssb- ion. The same sad story is true of some of the world's most beauti- ful and useful birds.

O O I

Nature, left to herself, has ways of preserving and restoring her resources. Before the plowmanb folly turned countless acres _of rich fertile soil into unproductive wastes,‘ Nature had her own way of tying down the loose earth with I mantle of grass, or with matted vines, roots. etc. The dead leaves and plants return to the soil food that the living plants have drawn from it. Insects. animals, birds and fishes have enemies that prey upon them, but these seemingly

most of the 13.000000 Negroes in the Uni-ted Slates descend. l ’l‘urner worked in "the black bor- der"—the Rice islands and the F-‘Bishboring coast for 240 miles b9- tween Georgetown. S.C., and St. Mary's. 6a., on the Florida state line.

Same of its natives never have been 0ft the sea islands or seen a white man from c1050 up. Previous investigators disrnlsed as only bad English the c-dd Negro “Gullalﬂ or "$999110?" dialect spoken there Turner's first wartime reports roused scholars. The American Council of Learned Societies threw its resources behind him. li.l.. Mencken put Turner's first few words into his “supplement two“ to Wipe Out pages of arguments in earlier volumes of Mencken's "The American language", a masterpiece on the origin of words.

Gullahs Suspicious

At first Turner ‘was treated as an ou-tsidcr by the islanders. He says: “.\ly first recordings of the speech of the Gullahs contain fewer Afri- can words by far than those made when I was no longer a stranger to thcni."

The University of Chicago has just published 'l‘umer‘s completed FEDOTL.

“Africanlsms in the Gullah Dia- loci" is too technical for lay read- ers. But students of American Eng- lish found Gullah is the missing link that introduced many Amer- icanisms used by people who nev- er dream they're talking African. For instance. there is "goober" or "pindcr" for peanut icalled "guba" and “plnda" in Gullah). or "toggle- boat-d" for see-saw (meaning rising board in Gullah from a Senegalese word "joggal." to rise).

The list covers many live things. like “cooter“ for tortoise i"kuta” in Gullah fro-m two French West African tongue-st. southern "poor Joe" or “p_o' Joe" for heron ("pojof from the Val language of Liberia). "biddy-biddy" for chick (it means a bird in Kontzolose), “jigger" (a bug known as "jigs" in six African tongues).

It may start with the first known Amcricanisnt. The word "tote." mCatllng “carry," has been found in print within 70 years after the first settlement at Jamestown. Va. ‘fur- ner found it moons pick up or carry in Gullah and five West African languages. The first Negroes landed at Jamestown a ycar and a half before the Mayflower at Plymouth Rock.

Down to our latest "Juke boxes." the word "Mike" is Gullah from a Senegalese tenn implying s. wild time.

Turner studied a2 West African languages. sometimes writing his own lexioons and grammars. He. went to London and Paris to learn half of them from actual speakers. including 20 natives and several

destructive forces only serve to keep a lust balance between them.

However, man by his ignor- ance of nature's laws, has upset this balance. One cannot destroy without rebuilding. When forests are ruthlessly cut down or burn- ed by careless campers, birds are driven away and the insect world takes over and destroys valuable crops.

Cutting off the forests also af- fects our water supply. Springs dry up or retreat underground; the water that the trees held in the ground runs off the surface into other streams, carrying away the valuable topsoil with it. Some of the disastrous floods we have road about in recent years can be traced to the excess water escap- ing from its former prison-cell, the forests roots. The soil that is carried away leaves the land poor and ls deposited by the streams in shallow places and in the mouths of rivers, making navi- gation difficult and often requir- ing dredging at great expense.

The world is full of examples of thc plowman's folly and abuse of the good earth. Perhaps one of the best examples of this abuse is to be seen in China, where ce - turies of tilllng the earth with- out conservation have impoverish- ed both land and p hi: to such an extent that families occur fre- qucntly.

It can be chalked up to the wisdom of the North American In-

dians that they knew more about

conservation than the whites who followed them, for during their regime our continent was no‘. lacking in all kinds of animal and plant life. Stately forests stretch- ed as far as the human eye could reach, and lush grass spread its protecting mat over the earth. furnishing food to vast herds of buffalos and other animals.

With the coming of white men

Africa-reared members of mission- aries’ families.

He found that "Gullah" and "Geechee" themselves are the nam- es of two Liberian languages. Among whites today, South Car- olinens call charlestonisns "Gee- cheer."

all this was gradually changed until a few wise persons saw the handwriting on the wall and pleaded for drastic conservation laws before all would be lost and man himself exterminated.
