Traditional

Egginton/Tindale records this as specifically the black snake (pseudechis porphyriacus) - and corrects Egginton/Johnson which records it as any kind of snake. Possibly the word in Egginton/Johnson should have been badja.- Aunty Phoebe Wanganeen suggests the meaning death adder - a very deadly snake.

there are three different words recorded for mullet. Perhaps the three words mean different types of mullet, or closely related types of fish. We cannot be certain, as none of the collections specifies a scientific name.

- direction (going or coming) is understood by the context.- the verb stem is bamma. Word-endings are added directly onto the stem, as in bamma-dja.- see community grammar book The fragments of Budderers waddy for details of how to use Nharangga verbs.
