wurtila, ngutila, ngawanja-kari

This grows on plains. When the first rains come, we pull the young ngutila from the trees fresh and cook them in the hot ashes. They are too sticky to eat raw. Two months later we get old beans and break them and eat them straight. Later we spread a blanket under the tree, shake the tree so that dry seeds fall down. We pick them up and take them home. We clean them, put them into a coolamon, grind them and put them in water. Then we drink that water. Or we use it to wash our hair to make it grow straight and long. Sometimes we rub the water on sick babies.
