MURRAY AND MORRIS The first evidence for the term in The Australian National Dictionary (AND) is from the Australasian (Melbourne) in 1880: 'Passing through a mob of mulga, we saw, on reaching its edge, a mob of horses grazing on the plains beyond. Elsewhere Dymphna has suggested that the Australian word brumby 'a wild horse' is also from Irish, from an Irish word that still exists in Irish English as bromach 'a colt', and that in Irish inflected forms also appears as bromaigh. It was from remnants of this stud that the wild horses on the Lower Burnett and the head of the Brisbane descended from being the 'Baramba horses', got by easy stages to be called 'Barambas, and finally 'Brumbies'. www.anu.edu.au /andc/ozwords/October_2003/brumby.html   (1065 words)
