Their grammar of this language is based primarily on Kugu Uwanh Y176 (2000:358). Wik-Me'anh Y53, Wik-Keyangan Y173, Wik-Iinychany Y54, Wik-Iiyanh Y177 Y172, Kugu-Muminh Y43, Kug-Uwanh Y176, Kugu-Mu'inh (Y224) are translated as 'language-go' (Sutton, 1991:58-59). Not to be confused with Wik Me'anh Y53.
