A loose linguistic grouping of clans (mala) of both Jiritja and Dua moieties distinguished from others by the form of their demonstrative pronoun 'this.'

Ngajimil (Ngayimil, Ngeimil, Makkanaimulmi). 4. Riratjingu (Rirratjingu, Rirraljinga, Riraidjango, Wurrulul, Woralul, Urorlurl). Jiritja moiety:5. Lamami (Lamumiri). 6. Wanguri (Wangurri, Wonguri, Wan:guri). |
