About the Author
Nita Garidjalalug worked closely with Ruth Singer to check dictionary entries. Together they investigated verbs, and worked on plant and animal names and kin terms. Nita was a health worker at Warruwi clinic, and with Peggy Mirwuma wrote a book on traditional plant medicine.
Rosemary Urabadi is an expert on Mawng. She studied linguistics at Batchelor Institute and worked at Warruwi school on bilingual education materials, taught literacy, wrote books and recorded the knowledge of Elders. Rosemary researched kin terms for the dictionary.
Heather Hewett (nee Hinch) arrived at Warruwi in 1952 as a missionary nurse. She learned Mawng to provide better care for her patients. She studied linguistics and compiled an early version of the dictionary and other Mawng resources. She helped establish the MawngEnglish bilingual program at Warruwi school.
Peggy Mirwuma (deceased) worked at Warruwi's translation centre and bilingual literature production centre for many years. She worked on literacy, edited dictionary entries, and wrote and illustrated readers for children. She translated Bible stories and illustrated books on health and diet for the Warruwi clinic.
