a good session. four attended beside myself. aspects discussed included the decline of horse culture in australian poetry; homeric comparisons (elements of praise poetry) ... we looked at the ngarla english dictionary (also by brown & geytenbeek) and noticed the connection with sound in ngarla when it came to naming things: by the sound it makes rather than how it looks or what it does: eg dragonfly, motor. we noted the identification by speakers of poems with machinery; the apparent simplicity of the songs, but layers of meaning non-ngarla people can only have intimations of .. tho translation would have given brian some insight
