Here, however, it must not be concealed that the 

 termination ka, or ga, occurs in other words, such as 

 tenal-ga = laugh, tar-ga = cry, teiri-ga = walk, lamuni- 

 ka = see. These, however, afe verbs ; and it is possible 

 (indeed probable) that the k or g is the same as in the pre- 

 ceding substantives, just as the m in su-m, and h-fii is the 

 m in mens, me, and Ifiz. Still, this will not apply through- 

 out ; e.g. the words like lalli-ga = kangaroo, para-ha = 

 flower, and others.

Here, the number of other words ending in na is very 

 considerable ; so considerable that, if it were not for the 

 cumulative evidence derived from other quarters, it would 

 be doubtful whether the na could legitimately be con- 

 sidered as a possessive affix at all. It mag, however, be so 

 even in the present instance. 



To these we may add two lists from the Lobo and 

 Utanata dialects of the south-western coast of New Guinea.
