(sky) to get dark
Notes: , 41.13.4, 55.7.2, 162.22.1. Etym: The etymology may be complex involving crossing of more than one element. Ngandi -muk-dhu-, Ritharrngu muk-u- suggest etymological root *-muk-, with -anga- in -anga=muda- a segmentable element perhaps related to Ngandi noun wo;o (clear) sky (rather than to Nunggubuyu anga camp , cf. Ritharrngu waa;a camp ). However, Nunggubuyu also has NAdj forms ngamug or angamug dark , and adverbial noun ngamugijgaj early morning (before dawn) , which seem to suggest a variant stem *-ngamuk-, cf. Warndarrang nimug dark . There is also a variant for the Nunggubuyu verb =muda- of the shape =ngamuda- in one cpd., see separate listing. Cf. =duma-, miynngu and related vocabu1ary.
