• another possible instance of gabun 'big': "the Liverpool Plains was known to the Gamilaroi as ‘Corbon Comleroy’ or the Great Plains" [Roworth & Williams Kamilaroi dreaming p 43] and "The Kamilaroi … regarded their territory as “Corbon Comleroy” and “Gammon Comleroy”, which translates to the Greater and Smaller Liverpool Plains". However this may be a misinterpretation: Breton (Excursions in NSW, London 1833:101) "believed the people over the mountains were the Corbon Comleroy (Great Kamilaroi) and the people of the Upper Hunter were Gammon Comleroy ('Gammon' being a pidgin term taken from the old English word for 'false' although Breton thinks it means 'small')" [Powell & Hesline 2010 JRAHS 96.2,115–148]

2010 [2011]. Dawes’ Law generalised: cluster simplification in the coastal dialect of the Sydney Language, pp.159-178 in Indigenous languages and social identity: Papers in honour of Michael Walsh, edited by Brett Baker, Ilana Mushin, Mark Harvey and Rod Gardner. Pacific Linguistics 626. ISBN: 9780858836181 * from 2009 ALW presentation * proof copy presented 7 July 2010 * published November 2011 (with 2010 imprint)
corrigendum: page 171: change yarrbundi to yarabundi and move from item 13(a) to item 13(d) yarabundi harabundi ‘old person in bad condition’ (M) [thanks to Harold Koch 17/1/2024]
addenda:
• Further to the note to item 29 'earth, ground' bimal in Table 10.3 'Words with medial mb, all in inland varieties of the Sydney Language', page 163: The variant forms of the famous Aboriginal warrior Pemulwuy (c.1750–1802) can be placed into two groups:
(a) Pemulwuy, Pemulwhy, Pemulwoy, etc; and (b) Bimblewove, Bumbleway, Pimbloy. These fit the pattern of Dawes' Law with the names in (a) conforming to coastal versions of the inland versions in (b). The variant Pimbloy occurs in the caption to Neele's engraving, the only known likeness: 'Pimbloy: Native of New Holland in a canoe of that country, 1804' (Grant 1803:170). Research has yet to independently align (a) with the coast, or (b) with the inland. Note that Pemulwuy "was born near what was later named Botany Bay, on the northern side of the Georges River", an area associated with the inland dialect; the variants in (a) would be how coastal people would report the name. The relevance to item 29 is that Kohen (2005) states the man's name 'was derived from the Darug (Dharug) word pemul, meaning earth.'
• page 170 Table 10.1 entry '11 black' form 'nand (H)' is from King as published in Hunter 1793. MS from King (p404) has 'Nana black' so the d is very likely a misreading of handwriting, and we can set aside the suggestion in footnote 7.
• page 170 Table 10.1: add manuRu 'forget' (mānuru- ~ mānuri- (b)) for which no inland correspondence is available but compare Yuin mandu [thanks to Harold Koch 17/1/2024]
• page 174 Table 10.4 entry '38 nails': further evidence for Coastal garuŋin (which was based on car-rung-im (C), corungun (A)) is also Dawes (b) 7:2 karü'ngün, as deduced by Jeremy Steele in his blog post of 30 June 2016 (although Steele reconstitues garaŋan)
• further instance for Table 10.3: Kamurá Top head (Dawes B42) compare Darkinyung gamburung [Mathews gambooroong] 'head' [thanks to D Wilkins]
• further instance for Table 10.3: Dámang (Dawes B5; C6) 'a cap or covering for the head' compare Dharawal dhambang 'hat' [thanks to D Wilkins] and Ngarigu dambany 'hat'

p.226, following Table 5: "It is clear that Warlpiri has retained more verb roots from pNgY than the other NgY languages
have." — and consider a related claim "that Warlpiri has retained more verb roots from pPN than the other NgY languages have" adverted to in the final paragraph of the paper (p.233)
p.231, Table 11: add comment for wari-rni ~ wayi-rni 'ERG tie ABS': Jaru and Ngardi have wayi- (Patrick McConvell p.c.) — so this verb root should be moved from Table 11 to Table 5 (p.226)

addendum: p.490n7 'in the list attributed to Hunter nand is glossed as ‘black’': nand is from King as published in Hunter 1793. MS from King (p404) has 'Nana black' so the d is very likely a misreading of handwriting, and we can set aside the suggested variation.
