Quotations

  • 1892, H. Livingstone, A short Grammar and Vocabulary of the Dialect spoken by the Minyuġ People, in John Fraser (ed.) An Australian Language
    A man calls an elder brother . . . kagoġ
    (please add an English translation of this quotation)
  • ibid
    When there is no specific term for a relationship, the terms for ‘brother’ and ‘sister’ are used; for instance—a great-grandfather is called kagoġ, ‘elder brother,’ and in reply to a male he says bunam, ‘younger brother.’
