onships are always kept in their memories by being daily used
as names. There are other general names, too, such as--

Mullayerh A TEMPORARY MATE OR COMPANION
Moothie A FRIEND OF CHILDHOOD IN AFTER LIFE
Doore-oothai A LOVER
Dillahga AN ELDERLY MAN OF THE SAME TOTEM
Tuckandee A YOUNG MAN OF THE SAME TOTEM, RECKONED AS A SORT OF
BROTHER.

Another list of names used ordinarily is--

Boothan LAST POSSIBLE CHILD OF A WOMAN
Mahmee OLD WOMAN
Beewun MOTHERLESS GIRL
Gowun FATHERLESS GIRL
Yumbui FATHERLESS BOY
Moogul ONLY CHILD.

Those of the same totem are reckoned as brothers and sisters, so cannot
intermarry. 'Boyjerh' relations, as those on the father's side are
called, are not so important as on the mother's side, but are still
recognised.

Now for the great Dhe, or totem system, by some called Mah, but Dhe, is
the more correct.

Dinewan, or emu, is a totem, and has amongst its multiplex totems' or
'sub-totems'--

Bohrah, the kangaroo, is another totem, and is considered somewhat akin
to Dinewan. For example, in a quarrel between, say, the Bohrah totem
and the Beewee, the Dinewan would take the part of the former rather
than the latter.

Amongst the multiplex totems of Bohrah are--

Goolahwilleel TOPKNOT PIGEONS
Boogoodoogadah THE RAIN-BIRD
Gilah FINK-BREASTED PARROT
Quarrian YELLOW AND RED BREASTED GREY PARROT
