Anent "cabane" to Messers Crockett and Hue - forgive the lack of the
accent -, Emil Levy's useful old dictionary of Provencal (I have the
little version) gives "cabana s.f. = cabane; baraque", and Louis Alibert's
modern dictionary adds "hut". Niemayer's Latin gives "cabanna" in a
document from Cluny meaning "cottage." How about looking in Brunel? I
don't have the article here with me, but I published a mid-thirteenth
century testament in the last pages of an piece titled "Village, Town and
City in the Region of Toulouse" in Pathways to Medieval Peasants, ed. JA
Raftis, pp. 142-190 issued at Toronto in 1981, wherein the testator
remarks that some of his cows are in his cabin (barn? compound?) at a
village just north of Toulouse. I've seen it elsewhere but can't remember
where, possibly the published inquisitorial registers. Yrs, John Mundy
