Explanation:
Derived from verb 'lalunga' - to hurt, to injure with the past participle marker 'ən'. 'nyawi' is sun. (Hercus included this phrase from Stone as an example for 'Lalungən'. She left Stone's spelling for 'head' (bourpook) in the phrase even though it is not listed in the WembaWemba Dictionary and despite adopting a different system of spelling to Stone.)
