Comment
Comments: 
According to Breen (1971 MA thesis), the Warluwara G10 people consisted of three groups: Kapula, Parnkara G41, and the Warluwara G10 proper; Kapula is given by Warluwara speakers as a dialect of that language. Similarly, Oates (1975:159) treats Barngara (G41) as a dialect of Warluwarra G10. Documentation on Warluwara G10 may be relevant.
