- this bird is identified as the groundlark (anthus novaeseelandiae australis).- however, this is not certain as another word is identified the same way.- gudilyarumight be another bird - perhaps the rufous songlark (cinclorhamphus mathewsii) (as indicated by related language records).related languages include Kaurna, Nukunu and Ngadjuri.
Gudliwardi
- Higgins (in Cockburns in Whats in a name?) suggests a literal meaning of dirty tail. Wardli is a word ending meaning tail, but Nharangga records do not list gudli as dirty.- Johnson suggests where emus come to drink. This is not a literal meaning of the word, although it could be a description of a place - possibly where the English town Koolywurtie stands, rather than Black Point.
gudlu
Tanne Arrito/Snell also record louse/flea as cutta. This is an important source because it was recorded well before the mission period, but it has several errors. It is not clear whether cutta is a different word, or perhaps misheard.
