Barnkabarra is a generic term for all crabs in Bininj Kunwok and more specifically it refers to the mud crab.

Mud crabs are of course marine crustaceans, but they do occur within the range of some Bininj Kunwok dialect territories, especially for Kuninjku and northern Kune people. Small crab species are collectively referred to as kambuk.
