Definition/Cultural Note

- gawi means 'water'. Carmichael (1974) suggests a literal meaning of 'fresh water in the sand', but this does not match the words in Nharangga sources.

Different ways of saying this word
originally a campsite in the sandhills about 16 kilometres north of Onegowie.Phillips, who recorded this word, states that he lived at 'Orrie Cowie', which was originally Muragawi. So it is possible that Muragawi is an older version of this word.
Extra Information
we have no record of how this was said in old Nharangga. This spelling is transcribed from the English 'Onegowie'.
