Hear the pronunciation, spoken by John Mawurndjul
Kakodbebuldi is a yirridjdja moiety place of the Darnkolo clan. There is the billabong at Kakodbebuldi with the dangarrk lights from the Mardayin ceremony. They glow. I painted them the other day. Larrbba, a yirridjdja moiety place near Kakodbebuldi, is where they gather the Trophis scandens vine for making conical fish traps. The site Larbba is there down in the riverbed in the sand. The old people used to camp at Larrbba, but all of them have passed away now, all the brothers of Kodjok subsection. There at Kakodbebuldi.
