Notes (Njalenjale) |
Note that this is a term used in the western system used in Kakadu National Park and Gunbalanya. At Maningrida and further to the east, the equivalent name for this subsection is Bangardi for the male and Bangardidjan for the female. Beware—na-kamarrang (west) is NOT the same subsection name as kamarrang (east). In Gundjeihmi these names are spelt na-gamarrang (male) and al-gamarrang (female). |
