- 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.

arida

English Word
sun
Definition/cultural note

- we have only record of this word, in the collection from 'Arrito'/Snell - an important source because it was recorded well before the mission period, but it has several errors.- this is not the only word recorded for 'sun'.- 'arida' could be an alternative word with the same meaning, or possibly Snell misunderstood. He often seems to omit the 'g' at the starts of words. 'Arida' might have been confused with 'garridja', from the phrase 'dhindu garridja' the sun is rising.
