‘our brother, our brother, is whittling down the shaft of a barbed spear for us;
our brother, he’ll just spear us’

[this is a song sung by 2 nabarlek rock wallabies (one male and one female) talking about a human, who they call their "brother". Indeed, they use the refined kundebi (triangular) kin term "namurre" appropriate between a brother and sister in referring to their brother. These delicacies of kinship notwithstanding, they say that he is cutting a barbed spear with which he will kill them.
