The online Yolngu Matha dictionary lists clan-nations Dhurili N122, Wutjara (N197) and Guyula N109 under Djambarrpuy?u N115, a Yolngu clan affiliated with Dhuwal N198 language and Dhuwa moiety (Schebeck, 2001:16). Wilkinson refers to Wutjara as a sub-clan or group of Djambarrpuy?u (1991:13). See also Dhurili N122 and Guyula N109. For Yolngu language groups see Yolngu Matha N230.
