| Comment: Holmer says possibly Paulson's father's language (Blackbutt), but Livingstone, Bray and Martin (both Murwillumbah) give as 'head'; ganggar is 'neck' Wa, 'nape of neck' Gd; bawur 'head' is more common. Possibly should mean 'neck', see ganggar. See also bawur 'head' and kanggalgali 'bull'. |
