Word Detail

(N)

Wembawemba people sewed possum skins with kangaroo sinew and made 'a really lovely edging by imprinting with white mussel shells' (N.E.). (Editor - The English to WembaWemba version of the dictionary lists 'walən' as an alternative word. This seems a little unlikely as this is also listed as the word for 'soft crayfish'.)
