✨ Marmanar Word of the Week: Nimarnuun ✨

Nimarnuun means Your Name in Marmanar.
Pronounced: [nim-are-noon]

Like last week’s word Marmarnuun (My Name), Nimarnuun was recorded by George Augustus Robinson from the West Coast and documented as “nim.er.nune”.

As we’ve learned through previous weeks, the prefix “nim” refers to you / your, in the same way “mar” refers to my / our. Having both forms recorded in this way strengthens confidence in these interpretations and highlights the relational nature of the Language.

Together, Marmarnuun and Nimarnuun show how identity is understood not in isolation, but through connection — between self and other. Another powerful example of how Language deepens our understanding of Culture and our relationships with one another.

This week, we invite you to reflect on the importance of names — and the respect carried when we speak them.

🌟 Want your blood pressure checked for FREE? 🌟
CHAC Health Centre is excited to be part of a new pilot study using Automated Office Blood Pressure (AOBP) – a modern, highly accurate way to measure your BP.

💡 What’s AOBP?
It’s a high‑quality blood pressure test that takes about 10 minutes and gives a more reliable reading than traditional methods.

✨ Marmanar Word of the Week: Marmarnuun ✨

Marmarnuun means "My Name" in Marmanar.
Pronounced: [mar-mar-noon]

This word was recorded by George Augustus Robinson to be from the West Coast and documented as “mam.er.nune”.

As we’ve learned through recent Words of the Week, linguistic analysis consistently highlights the significance of the “mar” prefix — understood not simply as my, but more accurately as part of me or part of us.

In this way, Marmarnuun is more than a label. It reflects identity, belonging and relationship — a name grounded in Language, shaped by Culture, and carried within Community.

This week, we invite you to sit with this word and reflect on the meaning of your own name, and the connections it holds.

✨ Marmanar Word of the Week: Manginnar ✨

Manginnar means "thank you" in Marmanar.
Pronounced: [mu-ngin-nar]

This word was recorded by George Augustus Robinson in Port Davey and documented as “mang.in.ner”. Linguistic analysis suggests that Manginnar is an amalgamation of Mangar (I / Me / We / Us) and Ningar (You / Them).
Taken together, the meaning can be understood as from me to you — or more culturally accurate, from us to you. This reflects a powerful expression of the cultural importance of sharing, reciprocity, acknowledgement and shared responsibility.

Manginnar is more than a polite exchange. It embodies the Cultural importance of giving, receiving and recognising one another — reinforcing the relational foundations carried through Language, Culture and Community.

This week, we invite you to speak this word with intention, and honour the connection it carries.

✨ Marmanar Word of the Week: Ningar ✨

Ningar means you / them in Marmanar.
Pronounced: [ni-ngar]

Like Mangar, this word was recorded by George Augustus Robinson and his son Charles Robinson, who accompanied his father on expeditions to the Port Davey and Macquarie Harbour regions. Charles attributed the word to the West Coast Tribes, while George recorded it in reference to Robbins Island. Charles documented the spelling as “ning.er”, with George recording it as “ning”.

Linguistically, like how the prefix “mar” carries the meaning of me/us, the prefix “ni” refers to you/them. Together, these elements reinforce a relational understanding of Language — one that recognises self and other as interconnected rather than separate.

Through words like Ningar, Language continues to reflect a Cultural connection ground in relationship and responsibility.
