<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Harley Dunolly-Lee,<br>
<br>
good luck with your efforts! Sounds great!<br>
The Miriwoong people often use a suffix that means 'used for' (for
example chair is <i>looloo-gerring</i> 'sit-for'). Do you have
one of those in Dja Dja Wurrung?<br>
They also have a suffix meaning 'similar to', for example they
name introduced fruit like this: plum is bush.melon-like. <br>
<br>
All the best from Germany!<br>

<div>Hello wurrung balak (language peoples) </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">I am working on
words for home in Dja Dja Wurrung, my language. Me and a
couple of other Dja Dja Wurrung speakers are gonna put
labels around the house. I am currently organizing a
project that requires me and another Dja Dja Wurrung
person to only speak language or code switch. This is
drawn from elements of the master-apprentice program but
tweaked for our current situation (no fluent speakers). </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">My older sister
had a baby as well, so the main reason is to speak it as
much as we can around baby. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">I have done the
following through basic semantic extension - which a
community member suggest I do instead of complex
morphology. We gotta work with a first stage. This way
we are teaching the community about country. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Woyimba - heat
(from fire) - oven </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Munmut - cold -
fridge </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Mumwil - couch -
(mum 'bum', -wil 'having') </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Mumbil - chair -
(mum 'bum', -pil 'having') </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Gapang - ice,
frost - freezer, esky </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">These are
subjected to change and variation, as one community
member wants to use the word for ground oven or hot,
heat (weather). </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">I am wanting to
know what have other communities (under awakening or
fluently spoken) have done in this situation just to get
an idea to help with the elaboration and direction. </div>
