  • That nine-word attribution is quoted -- (perhaps among other places) -- in the lighthearted BBC item "Why a group of hippos is called a bloat". See e.g.
    Medina, Kerry (November 9, 2018). "Why a group of hippos is called a bloat". BBC. Archived from the original on August 12, 2021. People have been coming up with terms to describe animal groupings for hundreds of years, but it wasn't until The Book of St Albans, written by Juliana Berners, a 15th-Century Benedictine prioress from England, that they were recorded extensively. Also known by the title The Book of Hawking, Hunting and Blasing of Arms, Berners' 1486 publication of this gentlemen's catalogue of wildlife and hunting included 165 collective nouns for animal species, and is said to make her one of the earliest female authors writing in the English language.
    Yet, the only documented evidence of this woman's existence is the attribution 'Explicit Dam Julyans Barnes in her boke of huntyng', which appeared in the original edition.
