Murnginn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈməːnɡᵻn/, U.S.

/ˈmərnɡən/, Australian English

/ˈmɜːnɡən/

Inflections: Plural unchanged.

Origin: A borrowing from Yolngu. Etymon: Yolngu murrnginy.

Etymology: < Yolngu (north-east Arnhem Land) murrnginy shovel-nose spear.The word was adopted by W. L. Warner in 1930 as a loose designation for eight tribes in north-east Arnhem Land who share the same kinship system. He was criticized by other anthropologists for this designation in what became known as the ‘Murngin controversy’, which was responsible for a re-evaluation of anthropological method and standards. In later usage, anthropologists and linguists have preferred to refer to Murngin as Wulamba, Miwuyt, or Yolngu.

A. n.

1. A member of any of a group of peoples inhabiting north-east Arnhem Land in northern Australia, now commonly referred to as Yolngu.

1930 W. L. Warner in Amer. Anthropologist 32 207 The Murngin are organized into local clan hordes, which are re-grouped into the moieties called Yǐr-ǐ-tja and Du-a.

1933 T. T. Webb in Oceania 3 410 I disagree with Dr. W. Lloyd in his application of the name Murngin generally to hordes of both moieties.

1955 R. M. Berndt ‘Murngin’ (Wulamba) Social Organization 104 Warner erroneously used the term ‘Murngin’ which is the name of only one clan and should not be used in this sense.

1967 Trans. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 29 482 Nowadays if the Murngin are mentioned at all, it is only because they have become a byword for all that is most arcane and, let it be said, most trivial in social anthropology.

1972 Man 297 16 The Murngin are well aware of the need of copulation to produce conception.

1981 Man 16 103 This is especially true of prescriptive marriage with the MBD, practised among the Murngin, who have puzzled generations of anthropologists.

1994 Man 29 65 Among the Murngin of Australia..the vagina is explicitly or symbolically equated to a hunting- or fishing-trap.

2. The Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Murngin, now commonly referred to as Yolngu.
