djakerr

Etymology

ordinary kin term for 'younger brother'

Note: In Kunwinjku dialect, women call all their siblings rdardda (variant pronunciations are rdarddah, rdarda, rdardah) EXCEPT their older sisters whom they call yabok. In Kuninjku dialect women call their younger brothers djakerr and all their sisters yabok. This search engine takes more of a Kuninjku-centric approach, for now, whereby djakerr and rdardda are seen as synonyms for 'younger brother'.
