noun

- 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.

- location given as Big Scrub Hut (Gumtree Waterhole), near Sturt Bay. (Egginton/Tindale)- Awi comes from gawi water. Johnson/Tindale suggests a literal meaning of gum tree waterhole, but this does not match well with other Nharangga records.

Hughes+/Tindale say that here little sheets stick up with sand and cut ones feet.

the word as shared with related languages also extends to wing.related languages include Kaurna, Nukunu and Ngadjuri.

- another word is also listed as curlew.- wirrdu appears to be the older word, or maybe the two words refer to different kinds of curlew.

the literal meaning of this word is not certain. Johnson believed it means a muddy waterhole, while some sources suggest a parrot with a beautiful plummage. Neither idea matches words found in Nharangga sources. Others claim that it comes for warriyuggu (sometimes warriyuga) ship.

- Kuhns list, which has some errors, gives the meaning as wood duck, while Condon has maned goose.- Condon is a bird expert, but he copied this word from somewhere else. We cannot be certain which meaning is correct, as neither source specifies a scientific name.- wudla may or may not be the same word as wadli branch - also recorded by Kuhn. This seems to be supported by related language records, which give wadla as log.- Arri is from ngarri duck.- related languages include Kaurna, Nukunu and Ngadjuri.

we have only one record of this word, in the collection by Kuhn, which has some errors, so the word may not be quite correct. There is another word also listed for throwing-stick.
