Comment
Comments: 

The online Yolngu Matha dictionary lists mininggirri (N118) but does not provide a defintion.

In his grammar of Ritharrngu N104 Heath (1980:2) that Mininggiri (N218) and Buwarpuwar N217 are sub-groups of Bunančini  N123 mata (1980:2) Wilkinson lists Mininggiri under Ritharrngu N104.

For Yolngu languages see also Yolnu Matha N230.
