kunanyi Mt. Wellington
(ku nah nyee)
There are four recordings of spellings of this word by three recorders:
* two from Robinson in the early 1830s – (‘bur.nang.ye’; ‘gur.nang.ye’)
* one from Sterling (Robinson’s clerk between 1829- 1831) – (‘go.nun.ye’)
* and a later one from Milligan (1844 – 1847) – (‘unghanyahletta’)
All four are translated as ‘Mt Wellington’ and Robinson notes it is a word from Bruny/southern tribes.
Wurati (Woorrady) from Bruny Island, accompanied Robinson on almost all his expeditions, and told him many words.
Alternate word:
There is only one other word recorded for Mt Wellington – ‘pooranettere’.
It is from Milligan, with only one spelling, and no information given; and was recorded 10 – 15 years later than Robinson’s and Sterling’s recordings.
