to which must be added the inseparable “go-,” this fellow, 
“kwond-,” those fellows, and “ gonbodénnagi,” belongs to this 
or those fellows. 
T have not learnt an inseparable first person plural as distinet 
from the third, or any second person plural. ‘ Ngigari” (be off 
with you), for instance, was used in addressing several or one ; 
Father Konrath has, however, “ gurangura,” you, and “ gurenn- 
ege,” yours (pl.). 
One notes in the Larraki‘a first person singular ‘“‘ananga” the 
similarity to the Hebrew “anoki” and the Moabite “anak ;” 
followed in Wilnar by “tantinga” and in Awarra by “ngzak,” 
but lost altogether in the Aggrakundi “‘arraman.” ‘The first 
person singular “a-” and ‘“go-” and the dual “mo-” or mau- 
compare with the Polynesian,* and the third person ‘“ ya-ba” 
with ia. The occurrence of “it‘uma” as a pronoun of the second 
person in Larraki‘a and of ituwma (ye) in Oceanic is scarcely 
fortuitous. 
So, too, the New Zealand, Samoa, and Hawaii /a compares with 
the Larraki‘a “lallira” and Awarra ‘“miral” (sun); Samoa 
lalanga (to broil), and the Polynesian /ani, langi (day), with 
Larraki‘a “illdngwa” (day); Tonga Jo-nguto (the lips) with 
Wilnar “liungitperner” (the jaw); Samoa alanga (to shout), 
Larraki‘a “aléngea” (to growl, as at an interloper) ; Polynesian 
io, Awarra “yo,” Larraki‘a “g‘o” (yes); Hawaii and Tahiti waha, 
Rarot. and Mangar waa (talk, gossip), with Wulnar ‘“‘ weyer” 
(talk), ‘‘waoba” (mouth), “waoler” (laughing), “ waol” (ear); 
Polynesian wat (fresh drinking water), wai-w (milk, lt. breast- 
water), North Celebes aki, akei, with Wulnar “aeke” (water), 
Larraki‘a “ kwiumung-gaoppowei” (milk) ;; Ceram (Gah.) arr, 
Palaos Islands arrall,t Larraki‘a “kwarroa” (water) ; Palaos 
tut, Awarra “dutut” (milk); Bougainville Islands ka/a, || Larraki‘a 
“kallaguk” (one).

+Father Konrath had ‘‘ gumungappa” and ‘‘quiumungappa,” Mr. P. 
Foelsche ‘“‘ gunnimkappa,” and I had written ‘‘kwiumunngappa.” My 
boy, however, told me, ‘‘ That one no proper. You say all same black- 
fellow—kwi-u-minng-gdop-powei,” a correction I verified when more 
familiar with the tongue. Although not in use by the Larraki‘a, abba, 
kappa, &c., are common aboriginal terms for water, and, in association 
with amung, the idiom breast-water is preserved. This link of the Poly- 
nesian wai, and the awwei (water) of South Australian tribes, with the 
kappa of other tribes, although of little value apart from evidence bearing 
upon the origin of gaop is not without interest. The Wtilnar aeke and 
Awarra wik, it will be observed, point to wéi k...?... with an apocope, and 
the Larraki‘a kwaorrowa to kwo arra wai.
