English Translation (Kun-balandaken)	patrimoiety name
Pronunciation (Bale ka-yime karri-ngeybun?)	duwa, nothing hard for anglophones here, and don't pronounce it like the Yolngu do with an interdental stop which they write with ʼdhʼ
Morphology (Karri-wokdjobdjobke)
Notes (Njalenjale)	In Yolŋu languages of north-east Arnhem Land, you might see this same moiety name written (and pronounced) "dhuwa" with an interdental stop at the beginning which they write with 'dh'. Do not write it that way in Bininj Kunwok as there is no interdental 'dh' sound in Bininj Kunwok.
