The Yuwaalaraay, also spelt Euahlayi, Euayelai, Eualeyai, Ualarai, Yuwaaliyaay and Yuwallarai, are an Aboriginal Australian people of north-western New South Wales.
[5] The Yuwaalaraay distinguished various kinds of Gamilaraay, telling K. Langloh Parker: With us, Byamee the name is not derived from the verb to make-which is gimberleegoo; maker, gimberlah --this word is also used in the Kamilaroi tribes, some of which are within a hundred and fifty miles of us.
[3] Yuwaalaraay country is rather dry even over winter, which permitted a longer gathering and conservation of seeds as a food resource.
The surplus was stored (yarmmara, 'storage') in caves, enabling women to free up their time, since the existence of reserves relieved them of the need to gather in edible foodstuffs every day.
Then the men took over as threshers, separating the husks by alternately beating and then stamping the seeds laid in two holes, on rectangular the other circular.
The resulting seedstock was then packed in skin bags, Once taken out of storage, the seeds were prepared by grinding then, with additions of water, on dajuri millstones and cooking the cakes over ashes.
As for Baiame, (Byamee) it meant a burul euray ('big man'), one with totem names for every part of his body, down to each finger and toe.
The Milky-way is called Worambul (a common word, generally spelt by the colonists [as] warrambool), a watercourse, with a grove, abounding in food, flowers, fruit, and all that is desirable.
To this Worambul the souls of the good ascend when their bodies are committed to the grave, and they are supposed to be cognisant to some extent of what takes place on earth, and even to have power to help their fellow men below when invoked.
The S-shaped line of stars between the Northern Crown and Scorpio is called Mundëwur, i.e., notches cut in a spiral form on the trunk of a tree to enable a black fellow to climb up.
Altair, the chief star in Aquila, rises, and is called Mullion-ga (an eagle in action)-it is springing up to watch the nest.
