Corrbill means covered all over. It is the name we give to anything dew, fog, smoke anything. it is like at 4 o'clock in the morningand you can't see because of the dew and fog and it is getting darker and darker. It might be mixed with clouds or dust, you can't see and it gets darker and darker. You might run into a reef or a rock when you are out at sea. Roy used to dance with these, he talks about them being a lot smaller and covered on both sides. Some of the song for this Ilma translates as, covered all place, all area, I can't see, I can't get away, there is no clearing, it is all dark, I can see it like big rain coming.
