A wound from this spear must be mortal.
The only colours we have as yet discovered they have any knowledge of, are--Red, _Morjal_; White, _Taboa_; Black, _Nand_; Green, _Boolga_.
The females of each tribe are distinguished by the word "-Leon_," added to the name which distinguishes the chief: it is supposed that the word "-Gal_," signifies -tribe_, and the word preceding it is the word of distinction; probably, it is the place where the tribe resides.
The following instances may serve to confirm these suppositions.
MEN. WOMEN.
Camera-gal Cameragal-leon.
Cadi-gal. Cadigal-leon.
Won-gal. Wongal-leon.
