The 350 or so entries in this wordlist are filed alphabetically according to English gloss. Most of the Aboriginal words are marked either 'W' or 'K' or (Wirrangu or Kukata, about 50% and 25% of the words respectively), while a number are marked with a cross and usually unassigned to either 'W' or 'K'. Marginal notes provide the date of preparation, April 1929, and touch on matters of orthography and pronunciation.
