Milangka : Tjarurru] progessing southwards. To the east, on the other hand, it is
Burgulu that took the place of Paljeri [Paljeri —> Burgulu].

2 Pilb2Lra—>Mardu: Panaka and Karimarra moved without change in their intermarrying
positions. Milangka replaced Paljeri. Note that the dialectal groups constituting the
Mardu at Jigalong today were formerly further east inland.

positions intermarrying categories changed. It is necessary to examine the
Ngaiawongga, located between the Mardu and Koara, to understand what happened.
The sections of the Ngaiawongga are as follows:
