The Aborigine name for an ochre. All of the results I was able to see used the term in italics or had it between quotation marks, which normally suggests it isn't a "real English word". Our quotations should be without italics or quotations marks. Pious Eterino (talk) 16:43, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for this. In fact it is apparently specifically Nyunga, from the south-western tip of Australia. I've added altforms and a referenced etymology. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 21:02, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
