Notes
Gerber has a Hottentot story of a ram, leopard, and jackal, and Klipple has even closer South African parallel, plus three more in Clarke.
Baer concludes: "The one example each from Russia and Estonia are unlikely immediate sources for this tale when the transmission route of Africa, West Indies, southern United States is so clear-cut."
