Terry Crowley writes:-In the region referred to locally as the “Seven Rivers” area (the seven rivers being the Jardine, MacDonald, Skardon, Doughboy, Ducie and Jackson Rivers, and Crystal Creek), which constitutes the very narrow coastal stretch from the northern side of Port Musgrave as far as the Doughboy River, and also the inland area of Crystal Creek and the middle Jardine River, were the a\u014bkamu\u1e6fi -speaking people. The non-coastal a\u014bkamu\u1e6fi of the Jardine River were alternatively called  yampa\u0263u\u01aba\u014bu or utu\u00f0anamu (meaning “leaf people” and “scrub dwellers” respectively). The a\u014bkamu\u1e6fi have previously been referred to in the literature by the name \u014bkamu\u1e6fi (Gamiti in Roth 1910:96), Ngkamadyi in McConnel (1939-1940:60) and   Nggammadi in Sharp (1939:257), which was used for the a\u014bkamu\u1e6fi by the CV-dropping groups to the south of Port Musgrave (Crowley 1981:146).Country[edit]Norman Tindale estimated that the Nggamadi had about 750 square miles (1,900\u00a0km2) of territory. They lay north of the Dulhunty River as far as around Vrilya Point (Cockatoo Creek), and were present also at the Jackson and Skardon river s.Alternative names[edit]NgkamadyiNgammattiNggamitiNgamitiNgammattaGameteGamitiGamettyGomokudin^ “Crowley (1983: 310) has established that some of these names are variant representations of the name of a language distinguished as either Nggammadi (var. Gamati, G\u00e2mete, Gametty, Ngkamadyi, Nggamadi, Ngammatti), which is a form used by the initial CV-dropping speakers south of Port Musgrave or as Angkamuthi (var.
