| Comment: Probably only nyaram, though Y:Allen, Y:Watsn usually do not write /ny/ as ng; Y:Geyt:Culhm gives as 'bearded jew lizard': similar lizards, and note shift in meaning of nyaram in other dialects - frilled lizard (Wa), blue tongue (B), and Y:Hanln who says it is 'sleeping lizard' (blue tongue), also loosely used for 'Frilled and Jew Lizard'. |
