Annotation quality: Tick

Notes on annotation quality: Kardu ngarim (also known as Kardu tiriwun) is the son of Mayamunggum. Ku ngarim or ku tiriwun are a species of sugarbag bee with a yellow body. Whilst this translation is certainly supported by the glossing, there are a number of different interpretations and translations of this text - see Barwick, Marett, Blythe and Walsh article 2007 for full discussion of textual ambiguities.

Annotator's note:

Kardu ngarim (also known as Kardu tiriwun) is the son of Mayamunggum. Ku ngarim or ku tiriwun are a species of sugarbag bee with a yellow body. Whilst this translation is certainly supported by the glossing, there are a number of different interpretations and translations of this text - see Barwick, Marett, Blythe and Walsh article 2007 for full discussion of textual ambiguities. The third repetition of text line A (immediately following text line B) is set to a different rhythm (presented in 0.11Avar above).
