Comment: In Bray's day 'a great number of the midgeon palms are cut and sent to Sydney and made into walking sticks'; nyaminbah (place of) small 'midjim' palm. See nyamin, nyumin, and also midjin.gam. It appears e has been misread as c in forms midgcon, etc., and m as w in GC:Talleb:police, cf. GC:Talleb:Sc form under midjin.gam.
