Map 10: Distribution of combinations of categories by four

Three obvious zones are di I‘ guishable. Zone 5, with the combination Kan'man'a-Pa]jeri-
Panaka—Purungu, is situated in the Pilbara and Kimberley regions. This zone is interrupted
by Zone 4, with the combination Katimana-Milangka-Panaka-Puningu. The only diflerence
between Zones 4 and 5 is that Milangka in the latter replaces Paljeri in the former. Remember,
however, that the Coastal Njangumarda Njangamarda seem to be using Milangka and Paljeri
interchangeably.

Adjacent to these two zones is Zone 1, with Burgulu—Karimarra-Paljeri-Purungu, in which
the only difference from Zone 5 is that Burgulu replaces Panaka Bates’s hypothesis.

replaced by Milangka; this nun ulation means that it is the valeur ofPa1jeri that difitlses Imder the names Milangka
and Tjarun-u. In step 3, Panaka —-> Panak simply means that Panak diffuses without substitution.
