- For material on Lardil, I am grateful to Messrs. Gully Peter, Jacko Jacobs, Fred Jarrar, Lindsay Roughsey, and the late Mr. Mick Charles, of Mornington Island, Queensland; for the material from Lower Aranda, to the late Mr. Tom Bagot, of Dalhousie, South Australia.
- There is one exception to this rule. For some reason, the relationship between a person and his classificatory and actual first cross cousins (/yurwatin/) is regarded as disharmonic for the purposes of pronominal usage. This may reflect an earlier stage in Lardil history at which the marriage rule was of the Kariera type rather than the Aranda type. It is noticed that in some parts of Australia (e.g., among the Walbiri of Central Australia), the class from which a man takes his wife is treated, in certain linguistic usages, as if it were in the father's generation. If the Lardil once had the Kariera type of kinship system, first cross cousins would have been included in the class from which a man took his wife. This explanation is to be regarded as highly speculative.
- I have recorded pronominal systems essentially identical to the Lower Aranda one for Andekerebina, Alyawara, and Kaititj, also members of the Arandic group. Much earlier, T.G.H. Strehlow recorded the first- and second-person forms for Eastern Aranda and the Alitera dialect; his data indicate that these dialects have only one set of third-person forms. For some discussion, see T.G.H. Strehlow, “Aranda Grammar,” Oceania, XIII (1942), 178–181.
