Nota sunting

  1. ^ The only primary source for the name Nymbulda is George Taplin. The Yaraldi genealogy compiled by Ronald Berndt names her as Nymberindjeri with Nymbulda being her father's first wife, and there was also another of that name married to another relative. It cannot be ruled out that she was known by both names. Indigenous tradition required that after a death, the deceased person's name could no longer be used and those with the same name would take a new name[2]
