  4. other materials

    Aside from material which has now been published, my field materials which might conceivably be of some value include song texts (Nunggubuyu, Yuulngu including Ritharngu, a little Anindilyakwa, and some boomerang-clapstick singing from Mara and Warndarang); some Dhuwal and Dhay'yi (Yuulngu) texts, mostly secret/sacred but including some historical Dhay'yi texts; and elicited material, mostly flora/fauna terminology, for several languages including Yanyula (Anyuwa), Dhay'yi, and some Barkly languages.

    Ethnographic materials on the Nunggubuyu and nearby people were discussed in NMET, pp. 10-12.

    A catalogue of my tapes on Australian languages and songs is in pp. 376-82 of my Nunggubuyu Dictionary.
