4 The Bidwell Blacks are not
exactly Brajeraks as they are
able to understand the language
of the Kanis. I think the term
is confined to men whose talk

fear. Consequently the Bidwells
would not be among that class.
Billy McDougall cannot tell

Neborak. he says it is only
meant for the Guiaban. I
do not think the term Muk jeak
refers to that meat
but I should think with
you that the term might be
translated meat par excellence
as it means meat distinguished
from inferior sorts of meats.
They will always give the
guiaban the best they have
