Comment
Comments: 

Sutton (2001:45) says Arraythinngith Y34 and Adithinngithigh Y229 are distinct from each other.

Tindale (1974:189), Aretinget (Y34) is one of Winduwinda tribes, Winduwinda being a cover term for twleve or more small groups each with a name terminating in '-ngit'. Sutton (2001:460) says the origin of the term Winduwinda appears fundamentally geographical; centering on the Winda Winda Creek area and covering groups with lands between the Archer and Mission Rivers.
