KAMILARAI. 



occurs in the language to the transitions 

 of the Indian tongues. 



The plural pronouns are yeen, we; nura, 

 ye; bara, they. They are declined as fol- 

 lows: 



NOV. 



-geen 

 nura 

 bara 



ACC. 



-gearun 

 nurun 

 barun 



GEN. 



yearunba, &c. 

 nurunba 

 barunba 



By adding bo to the pronouns, we have 

 an emphatic form of expression ; as, 



yatoa -bo, I myself, I only, I indeed (am) 

 yintoa -bo, thou, &c. 



There are demonstrative pronouns which 

 are employed according to the relative dis- 

 tance of the object. These are 



9ni, this, near the speaker. 



ftnoa, that yonder, at a little distance. 



vntoa, that there, near the person addressed. 



They are thus declined : 



WIRADUREI. 



The plural pronouns are yiani, we; 

 -gindugir, ye; guinguliaor yingulia, they. 

 Gir, which is added to yindu, seems to be 

 a contraction of the plural suffix girbay; 

 gulia, which is added to guin, signifies pro- 

 perly like. 



These pronouns are thus declined: 



Nora. yiani 

 Ace. yianigin 

 Gen. yianigingu

 Abl. yianigindyi 



yindugir 



yinyalgir

By adding the words guyuyan-bul to the 

 personal pronouns, we have a meaning 

 similar to that given by self or selves in 

 English ; as, -gadu guyuyan-bul, I myself. 

 Guyuyan, with the genitive, has the force 

 of own ; as, yadi guyuyan, my own. 



The demonstrative pronouns are 



yidyi or yidi, this 



yina, this 



yugu, this (agent) 



yadi, that 



yana, "

 -gain -gulia, those 

 -ganain gulia "

The dual is formed by changing gulia to 

 bula; yina-bula, these two, &c. 



These pronouns are also used as relatives; 

 thus, yina dibilain yana yindu bala-buni, 

 this is the bird that thou didst kill ; yina
