- this word does not appear in the Nharangga wordlists but only in Mannings place names.- it is not clear whether this word was used as a place name by the Nharangga.- at one time used for what is now called Ardrossan, adopted from the given to, first, a pastoral property 3km south of Ardrossan, then a copper mine in the area.- in Mannings book of place names, the meaning middle is given for the English place name. This does not match the words in Nharangga records. It could be a description of the place in some way, rather than the literal meaning of the word.
