what do they call a spade?

The Noongar people have developed an amazing language.

They have spent ten thousand years developing their own isolated culture and language. 

Once they had killed the last giant wombat, the largest animal in Noongar country would have been a kangaroo.

Yet, according to the Noongar word of the day, they already had a word for "horse" ("ngort", we're told.)

It's all very nice to preserve and use actual traditional names.

But why publish a word which is clearly a recent invention.

At least tell us who invented the word.

And why anyone would not call a horse a horse
