Distinctive vocabulary

Words unusually characteristic of poems collected here, compared with poems collected at other places — not the most common words.

Villages the songs were collected in

Of the 117 poems collected in this place, 116 name a smaller place on their archive record; the remaining record gives no finer place, or one of a kind this list does not cover. The counts reflect how often collectors wrote an address down, not how much was sung. Names are shown as written on the records, so they span different eras’ commune divisions; a place may be where the song was written down or where the singer came from, and a name marked (?) was uncertain in the record itself. All these names, across every collection place, can be searched in the Place Name Index.
