Won is also given as the pronoun I. Gnar won gneal-gnen, 
“T believe your words”; Wodjol-a won, “ Anger is gone from 
me.” (Gnen, (W.) nuk, (K.) won, (D.) me ?)

DERIVATION OF PERSONAL PRONOUNS. 
The components of these compounds have yet to be clearly 
traced. In composition they are perhaps akin to the nouns 
formed by elision, The dual and trinal forms most probably 
incorporate the numeral, bw/, in the dual, being a contraction of 
bulad, two, and fol, in the trinal, a contraction of three 
(kuliba, guliba). 
But this opposes the statement of Francis Tuckfield, who says 
the natives were able to express themselves in these forms without 
using the numeral adjective. This statement, we may reasonably 
suppose, rests on direct information given to him by the natives ; 
but then we may infer that the blacks themselves had long for-_ 
gotten the original complex nature of the compounds, for there 
remains this striking fact : the Geelong tribesmen, who used 
trinal pronouns, were found with no numeral for three. They 
expressed three by addition, budad-barp-koimozl, two and one.* 
Interjection.—Wah-wah. Unclassified word.—Koon-g-a-g-e. It 
is a parting word used by the natives. ‘It may be a good wish, 
or an exclamation expressing regret at leaving; but what it 
means,” says Tuckfield, “the blacks could not tell.” Lmphasis is 
sometimes marked by reduplicating a word, or adding a syllable— 
tarn-tarn, winyar-ar, kollik-ka ?
