Overview
In the Meamei narrative, Wurrunnah finds cut bark and tries to use it for shelter from an approaching storm. Beneath one sheet he discovers a strange-looking object unlike any people he knows. It announces itself as Bulgahnunnoo in a terrifying voice, and he drops the bark and flees.
The passage provides a name, concealment beneath bark and a frightening vocal encounter. It does not specify limbs, size, a pursuit or an attack. Wurrunnah’s flight takes him into the next episode; no later fate is supplied for Bulgahnunnoo.
