| Comment: Irreg; cf banga-; Livingstone lists this under ban- 'fall', saying 'if imperative ends in a' (bangga, not bungge), it has this meaning; see also bang-. It appears to be a different verb; note Hanlon attests this form, but suggests bunggahn for 'a kick'. Wa has bangga- 'kick, stamp on', and C has banga- 'tread, tread on, trample'; Holmer gives as 'shoot', but in Yugambeh and Gidjabal it is 'kick, stamp'; Holmer's example gives meaning 'shoot', but it could be an extension of meaning. |
