While many of us try to say as much as we can with as few words as possible, Greg’s way is to say one thing in as many languages as possible.

So in honour of you Greg: bobo (Arnhem Land), kel aretyenheng (Arandic), ngulajuku (Warlpiri), kamarnta (Warumungu), hai finito, ciao (Italian), bonj (Bininj Kun-wok), ma, ganapiya, japarra ngapa ny-jirra (Burarra), jer er ferdig (Norwegian), Näkemiin (Finnish), ??? ????? (Arabic), hasta la vista (Spanish), ????? (Japanese), Donadagohvi (Cherokee)…

Thanks Greg for your constant reminder of why we are here, because we hold language dear.

Good luck from all of us at CALL!!

And one more thing: gu-yinpa barra nyina-jeka? (Burarra)
