To my memory the NO refers to the negative as per linguistic negatives It does nt mean the word No I do nt do linguistics the science of linguistics i e which is where that No comes from but know the wiradjui lannguage and culture pretty well A lot copy that Wiradjui No material not realisng it is not about word definition but linguistic structure I just do wiradjuri word definition tied to where the word refers to Linguistics archaeology claims there is just one true word a ssuch which is sign There are multiple words if Australia s Indigneous language is considered because this language has been mostly separated from what it refers to cultere the archs linguists then think they can take possession Its like the rock art battles where some archs claim they must be preserved because current day Indigneosu people are painting over them a cultural practice as part of ongoing culture So linguistics may tell us that wiradjuri No It does nt The word means what it does similar to sign s referent sign
