Definition/Cultural Note
- it has not been possible to spell this word according to the Nharangga spelling system developed by the Language Workshop, as this would result in gudna, which has an entirely different meaning.- this word clearly comes from English good. However, it is now used as a real Nharangga word, since it has a Nharangga word-ending, and has become part of a phrase which is not used in English (see example in sentences).
