Word Detail

(Phrase)

recent phrase constructed with verb 'werrpana' - to pull out or to catch a fish and the 'locative' ending -kata, meaning 'position right in'. (Ed. note - the 'kata' ending would normally be added to a noun to show that the action 'fishing' happened right in that place. In this case it is added directly to the verb. '-kata' is also used as an 'emphatic' ending 'pull up fish (here) - absolutely'.)
