Book launch. There is no Gamilaraay recorded for this, but a few times there is a word for ‘float’. Intransitive ‘float’ is banggadha-y and dhangga-y [the stick floated] and the transitive verb is dhanggalma-li [I will float the stick], and that is also used for ‘launching a canoe’, so has been used here.
The usual transitive verb formed from dhangga-y would be dhanggay-ma-li. It is quite possible that, since this was not a common verb, the records may not have the traditional version.
