Other Terminal Suffixes 



Of the fourteen remaining compounds, seven no doubt take 

 En as a terminal suffix. 



* En as a suffix expressive of pronominal relationship 

 appears to be common to several aboriginal dialects of Victoria. 

 It is, however, to be remembered that i and e, and that d and 

 g are interchangeable — as we have just seen (ik el; : dik gilt, 

 &c.) We shall find the same change occurring in the use oft-;/. 

 This suffix is shown in the Glenelg River dialect in rnarmew, 

 father your = your father. So in rnahrmw, your father, at 

 Lake Hindmarsh. The Ta-oungurong dialect perhaps gives 

 another variant in the pronoun Murrumbyew, you. In 

 Waworong dialect, in or din means your. The Pine Plain 

 dialect no doubt shows this component suffixed in Walloon»/>/, 

 you. 



Examples in En. 



Bang-en, thou Gnud-den, yon (plural) 



Bang-ong-en, thine Ghullen, us (dual) 



Bul -en, you (dual) Gnellen. us (trin.il) 



Bang-gnnd-der> ( , us 



* Like ik and etuh, en or in is also a nounal suffix : — leangm. teeth ; 

 tcbilinm, tongue ; wooriu«n, mouth ; wirumpookn, nar ; dinangt/«, toot ; 

 chinanr//w, foot. 



And in the following we perhaps have variants of the suffix tin (in ar 

 din) showing the consonantal change previously noted : 



Pinang/iw, foot. Camperdown dialect 



Yerangiur/v'w, his dog. Melhonrne ,, 



Walloiw/7/f, you. Pine Plain „ 



Pip;'in, his pipe. Melbourne ,, 



Murrumbj/en, you. Campaspe K. ,,
