a- Tongue movement.***
b- Type of saliva.

Any movement of the language can be used to manipulate the sound of a didgeridoo in a tonal or rhythmic way. Many non-Yolŋu people use what is called double or triple tonguing in the brass terminology for flashy rhythms.
They can be written down as "taka taka" or "takata takata".
The game Yolŋu is held in a very strong and agile language, driven to movements and positions that are used in Yolŋu language, but are foreign to most readers of this site.
You can start to understand the beginning of Yolḏu Yiḏaki's game base with just two of these tongue positions and the intermediate move.
The following excerpts and images are taken from the Hard Tongue Didgeridoo CD as an example.
The first position is called the "retroflex" position, which means that the tongue is curved so that the underside of its end touches the back of the upper gum. In the second "interdental" position, the tongue is projected forward so that the tip of the tongue touches the tips of the upper and lower teeth, pointing slightly downwards, and the the tongue leans against the back of the gum.
The first basic movement is called "dith-dhu" by the Yolŋu, or sometimes, as you will hear on the teaching CD of Djalu 'just "dith", the second movement being implicit. For "ḏith", you start from the retroflex position and project your tongue by dragging it to the interdental position.
The tongue is projected like a whip from its bent position and comes to hit the back of the teeth. This is accompanied by a projection of air from the belly.
With a correct pressure in the lips, mouth and throat, this technique also produces a very short taste to the note "trumpet" which we will discuss later. After arriving between the teeth, the tongue moves back to a neutral position on the "dhu".
The other movement is to pull the tongue from the interdental position to the retroflex position, flicking at the base of the gum along the way, which is spelled as a "rr" in the Yolŋu language. The Yolŋu indicate this yiḏaki technique as "dhirrḻ" or in a very close version, "dhirrk".
This movement is accompanied by a strong projection of air and often an inspiration to fill the lungs.
