The Age 29/6/1981
Professor Donald Thomson
field note dated February 1937
as told by the old men or women to the Kopepoingo, Tjambara-Poingo, Birkilli, Djerang’goi, Kalbanuk, Djinang, Mildjingi, Wanguri and Marango groups.

 
Do not be greedy. Eat a little and give to others, especially to old people, to women, to sick people and to strangers “coming by”. If someone brings food near you, do not say: “give me, I’m hungry.” Just sit there. To do otherwise is “ta dikku” – “raw mouth” – uncouth.
 
Do not steal other people’s food.
Do not steal other people’s belongings.
Do not tell lies’ speak the truth.
Do not talk back to old people.
Do not swear.
Do not grumble. (This was not included by all groups.)
Do not laugh at strangers.
Do not laugh at women.
Do not stare at women.
Do not “ask” a woman if you happen to meet when you are hunting.
 
Have a “strong heart” – ngoi dal”
