The Basque Terranova fishery and the Basque words the Innu answered in

Every spring from the sixteenth century Guipuzcoan ships sailed for the cod and whale grounds of Terranova. A Basque priest writing in 1625 set down the voyage, the rendering cauldrons, the barrel measure, and something else: the people of the shore had learned Basque from the crews, and when asked "nola zaude" answered "Apaizac obeto". By 1779 the society of Bilbao was recording that England now fished the cod that fed Spain.
