And then Mann^yamann^yiri went for fish, from the place Ambugambu. This is his name, Mann^yamann^yiri. He went for fish. He was fishing with line and hook. He got a lot of fish there, but they were small ones, little ones only.

He decided to go in a certain direction, to Yilila. Then he paddled along to Yilila, (in) a dugout canoe.

He threw out the fishline and caught (fish) then at Yilila. He caught parrot fish, big ones like that (speaker shows size with manual gesture). Parrot fish, sweetlip emperors, these big ones. Again he (got up and) went.

As for Wuruyambi, he was there first. He (Wuruyambi) went toward him (Mann^yamann^yiri). That man, named Wuruyambi, and as for Mann^yamann^yiri, he was paddling along from this side. His name was Mann^yamann^yiri, also called Waljuri-jun^g (human Sg form of waljurig 'frilled lizard').

He (Mann^yamann^yiri) went along paddling. He dropped his hook and line, here at N^garilan^guwa. Then he moved over there to Wurgingi and did it again. Then he moved over to Wuyuwara and did it. Then from Wuyuwara he shifted again to whatchamacallit, Ribimbi. He dropped the hook and line, then moved again.

Note: Most of these place names are small rocky islands or other fishing spots in the Gulf.

He (Mann^yamann^yiri) decided to make a fire at a certain place (on the shore). He went onto (the land). He made a fire. Over there, at the place Wuruyambi, the man Wuruyambi saw him. (Wuruyambi wondered,) "Who is that paddling there?" He went over (near the other man) and got up on an overhanging ledge where the rock juts out like this. He went along stealthily.

* Both this, a human name, and the preceding word, a place name, share the stem wuruyambi. It therefore takes ANAC prefix in the first form and MSg na- in the second. To further distinguish the two forms, human Sg -yun^g is added to the second form, though this suffix is uncommonly used with personal names

He (Mann^yamann^yiri) built a fire then. He went along and came out (at a place). He, the one who was building a fire, there at the place Lhalbin^yn^guru. He was looking for (drinking) water. As for him (Wuruyambi), the one who knew about (the country?), appeared to him then.

"Oh dear!" (said Mann^yamann^yiri as the other man approached). "There is someone coming here!" (Wuruyambi said,) "It's just you and me." He (W) tricked him (M). M said, "Where is water?" W said, "The water is over there. Run there!"

He (M) ran along (toward the water). He stopped and looked around. He noticed that man (W, sneaking after him). He (M) ran on a little farther. Then there, in some malwad trees (Thespesia populnea, a tree with dense foliage found near coastal rainforest and mangroves), he went in and hid, there in the rainforest scrub. Up to here, the upper back. Then he (W) looked for him, but couldn't find him. "(I wonder) where he disappeared to?"

He (W) picked up an axe then. He went along from there, looking for him over there. He went along, looking. There! He went right past him (M), he (m) was sitting (there). He (W) looked.

There was a blowfly, or a (common) bush fly. It buzzed around him (M). He (m) tried to get rid of it. He (W) didn't see him, (but) ran along from this side. He threw (the axe), piercing him (M).

Note: W detects the presence of the concealed M by noticing the buzzing of the fly around M, and throws the axe in the direction of the noise.

Around there he (M) died. He (W) left him (M) there. Wuruyambi killed Mann^yamann^yiri, he cut him with an axe. Then the bark canoe (of M), it is moored at the place Lhalbin^yn^guru, a stone dreaming, like this. The bark canoe is there. Then after that he (W) ran away. A stone there.

(W said to the others,) "I killed somebody over there, who came toward here, toward us. He came toward us over there." The sons (of W and M) ran over there.

They (the sons) went over there and looked. They recognised him (M). "But this man is our (kinsman). A dreaming man, he (W) killed him (M)." (Wuruyambi said,) "But I (did it) because (I thought it was) someone else."

Then he (W) died there at Lhalhin^yn^guru. He, Wuruyambi, is on top (on the ledge). Right there the two of them fought, Mann^yamann^yiri and Wuruyambi. He (is) at Lhalhin^yn^guru. The bark canoe was tied up there, he (M) lost it there. That's all.
