Warrigal
Dharug
Dharug-associated modern form/ˈwɒrɪɡəl/Australian English culinary use/ˈwɒrɪɡəl ɡriːnz/
“Australia gave English a word for wildness, then used it for salad.”
Warrigal was already an old Sydney word when the British wrote it down in the late eighteenth century. In Dharug around Port Jackson, it meant wild or untamed, and colonists soon applied it to dogs beyond domestic control. David Collins recorded the colonial vocabulary of New South Wales in 1798, and warrigal was part of it.
