Comment
Language comment
Lower Arrernte is also called Arrernte Imarnt 'solid Arrernte') (Breen, 2001:67). Wilkins (in Henderson 2013:12) provides an overview of the Arandic languages with two major sub-groups: Artwe (~Urtwe) composed of Upper Arrernte (Eastern Arrernte, Western Arrernte C47, Alyawarr C14 and Anmatyerr C8.1) and Lower Arrernte (C29). The other major subgroup is called Artweye, with one member Kaytetye C13. See also Arrernte C8, Pertame C46; Ayerrerenge G12; Antekerrepenhe C12 and Akarre C28. Previously the Thesaurus did not distinguish Lower Arrernte from Arrernte C8. Consequently items in the AIATSIS catalogue indexed with the 'Arrernte language (C8) (NT SG53-02)' heading may be relevant.
