Nganurganity
From All Skies Encyclopaedia
Nganurganity [ˈŋanuɾˌɡ̊aniɟ̊] is the "Jacky lizard" in the culture of the Boorong, a clan of the indigenous Maligundidj people of northwestern Victoria in Australia, who saw it as an ancestral figure who fights the moon, flanked by his wives. The name was listed as Unurgunite in Stanbridge(1861), for initial ng-, which does not occur in English, was typically ignored in transcription of that era. WGSN corrects the spelling.
