Wogait
The Wadjiginy, also referred to historically as the ''Wogait'', are an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory, specifically from just north of modern-day Darwin.

Their ethnonym is derived from , a Batajamalh term for 'beach'. The modern descriptor used among the tribe is ''Wadyiginy''.

Timor Sea
The Timor Sea ( id, Laut Timor, pt, Mar de Timor, tet, Tasi Mane or ) is a relatively shallow sea bounded to the north by the island of Timor, to the east by the Arafura Sea, and to the south by Australia. The sea contains a number of reefs, uninhabited islands and significant hydrocarbon reserves. International disputes emerged after the reserves were discovered resulting in the signing of the Timor Sea Treaty. The Timor Sea was hit by the worst oil spill for 25 years in 2009. It is possible that Australia's first inhabitants crossed the Timor Sea from the Malay Archipelago at a time when sea levels were lower.

In Tetum, the expression () is often used to refer to the Timor Sea.
