KUKATA. 



Kukata (Kookkata, with accent on the first syllable) is 

 the name of a tribe inhabiting the country north of Lake 

 Gairdner. Their language is very near the Wirrung or 

 Wirongu, spoken further south, and already dealt with in two 

 papers by Mrs. Bates and myself respectively (these Trans., 

 xlii., 153; xli., 3), but differs entirely as regards several words 

 which are shared with more northern dialects. Stanley Davis, 

 a young native from Mount Eba Station, supplied the follow- 

 ing vocabulary: — 



bagali, grandfather (see [b-^galijin the list of relationship 

 in Mrs. Bates' paper, these Trans, xlii., 162-3). 



drini, big; drini baba, a big dog. 



gudjuda, one; ku : ba gudjuda, one blackfellow.

jalkata (jelgada), three. 



kabi, water. 



kabu/i (kaburli), grandmother. 



kada (kata), head; kada uru, hair of the head; tjindo 

 kata'rara, the sun is rising. This is evidently the 

 same word as the Wirongu word kogarara, meaning 

 "east." 



kadidi, teeth. 



kalta, stumpy-tailed lizard. 



kaina/u, uncle (mother's brother). 



karyi^a/u, elder sister. 



kay/gu, house, camp.
