Word Detail

* Wirwa
To Climb, To Rise
Part of speech:
(Vintr)
Sources:
Stone [weerwa]
Notes:
This word was recorded a number of times from modern speakers of Werkaya but not from Wembawemba people: they only used 'perrəpa' - 'to climb' and 'pirna' - 'to get up'. It seems possible that Stone heard this word and its derivatives from Archie Pepper and other Werkaya people staying at Lake Boga: '*wirrwalang nyawi' - 'sun rising', 'east', Stone [worwalling gnawi]
