Yolngu WOTD

rrupiya 'money'
< Makassarese ᨑᨘᨄᨗᨕ rupia
< Sanskrit रूप्य rūpya 'silver, rupee'

Also doy' 'money' < the inherited Makassarese word ᨉᨚᨕᨙ doe' 'money'

These & many other loans into Yolngu langs come from 18thC trepang hunters trading w/ the Top End (map).

Rowtor Rocks in Derbyshire is an unusual place, natural rocks formations carved into mystical shapes in the late 18thc. But it seems to have been an important site much earlier, with Bronze age carvings, like this rare quarter-sun, still visible on the stones #StandingStoneSunday
