Nharangga Word
cigar muga
English Word
big wind cloud
Definition/Cultural Note
- the Nharangga kit lists mooka for this word (muga in current spelling). However, this may be misleading, as the word for cloud in the old sources is magu while muga is egg, round thing.- cigar might be a recent addition, perhaps borrowed from English.- it has not been possible to respell the word cigar in the Nharangga spelling system developed by the Language workshop, as the sound of this word is very different to old Nharangga words.
