Transcription Notes:
Name in title: Aleut whale names. Aleut is correct * the "u" in "Keeganagalus" appears to be a "u" with macron and acute above, which is not an option in unicode * the second "a" in "Alalukh" also appears to be an "a" with both macron and acute above. * the acutes in general may be syllable stress marks, hard to tell.
