[Mihalic] Wahgi River

[Bryant Allen]

No ken lusim tingting long Wage Creek na Waga River long SHP, long baksait 
bilong Nembi Plateau.

'Wahgi' is the spelling given by Jim Taylor in his patrol diary of 1933. 
'Waki' is indeed the correct way to render it in WHP as in Dom.
Unfortunately, there is a significant 'Wake' river in western Enga so it is 
useful to go on with 'Wahgi'. (Also, electorate: 'Angalimp-South Wahgi'.
