Source-grounded excerpt

William Bidlet, M.A., etc.) I.^Baiamb. " Baiame " (pronounced like the three words " By-a-me," and in the Welliugtou district south of the Namoi " By-a-my ") is the name by which tribes scattered over a great portion of the north-west and west of New South Wales designate the Supreme Being. The blacks there who are acquainted with English, if asked what ^^ Baiame" is, reply, " Carbon-massa" i.e., the Great Master ; and to further enquiry as to what they and their fathers know of Baiame, they reply that He made earth, and water, and sky, animals and men ; that He makes the rain come down, and the grass grow ; tliat He has delivered.

The excerpt is presented as public-source context. Terminology belongs to the cited source and may be historical, contested, culturally specific, or outdated.
