field diary 1832 deciphering problems

[Rhododendron]

Jan.  Re your 17.1.  I would agree with you that it is "S.E."

[Rhododendron]

Re your 13.3., Jan.  I would agree that the word is "observed".

[arthurk]

Suggestions for the ones that Rhododendron hasn't mentioned:

12.1 - I observe

13.1 - desirable

13.2 - E (= East) and W (= West)

14.1 - strata / wax (?) / procured

14.2 - castellated (spelled as you give it) / connect

16.1 - 'gout' seems unlikely; is it some Indian term/title?

[Fisherman]

16.1
I read it as Jaat

A primarily Hindu people originally from Northern India

Fisherman

[JanSeifert]

In your last post for today, Jan.   "last" is actually "East".

Of course! it was evening and I had been transcribing the whole day. But when you're in the flow...

Thank you for all your input.

Jaats are basically a peasant community of North-West India. I do not see any possibility for the use of it here.

14.1 –»wax« hits the spot – after reading bees all I could think of is larvae or honey.

16.1 – »gout« I thought possible, because it was a widespread disease.  Also the Raja needed a little longer to arrive – probably because he was slower because of his ailment. But I mark this as open until there is more certainty.
Any new ideas about 7.1?

There is another occurence of »Jout« at page 22. No »gout« then
So, as arthurk assumed, it looks more like an addition to the title.
I'll keep an eye on it.

No, sorry. (Forgot to mention that yesterday)

I was going to say that the first letter definitely looks like a 'J' (upper case), rather than a 'g' (lower case), but I've no idea what the word might mean.
