Traditional

this word probably comes originally from a longer word, perhaps waguwagu (supported also by related languages records).

- this word appears as part of the compound garrdi wabba emu feather fly whisk.- might be related to wuba something, a word in contempary use.

- the verb stem is yunggu. Word endings are added directly onto the stem: yunggu-dja.- see community grammar book The fragments of Budderers waddy for details of how to use Nharangga verbs.- some words in Nharangga can mean the same idea in two directions, such as bammadja come or go.- in the same way, this word seems to mean both give and receive. Which one is meant will be obvious in context.

- also other relations considered equivalent, such as spouses sisters husband, or cross-cousins husband (a cross-cousin is the child of your mothers brother, or of your fathers sister).- although Kuhn records this as younger brother, other Nharangga words and evidence of related languages strongly suggest that this is incorrect.- related languages include Kaurna, Nukunu and Ngadjuri.
