Whoops, had forgotten to add a space so it wouldn't tack on the parenthesis onto the link. Fixed now.

Lol, true, I forget how recent all the Internet searches are and how hard searching was to do back then.

As for the transcript, TwizTV does have actual scripts for L&C (most of theirs are dry transcription from people watching, but the L&C set they say are genuine shooting scripts someone donated), and it has Clark saying the following: "The Yolngu tribe in New Guinea eat paava leaves to relieve stress..."

You can find all four seasons of L&C transcripts here: http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/loisandclark/

Clark's pronunciation is, if I attempt X-SAMPA (a transcription for IPA when you need to use ordinary characters), jV."lAN.gu
(my attempt in English phonetics would come out "yuh-LONG-goo")

I can't even attempt to pronounce Yolngu the way the tribe does: http://www.yolnguboy.com/directory/htm/the-yolngu/index-yolngu.htm

But then again, as you pointed out, I'm sure that wasn't there in 1993!


Don't point. You make holes in the air and the faeries escape.
