occur liah-pota, river, creek ; lia-mena, lake , loa-maggatangta, deep 
water ; lia-tarightea, to flow; lia-laratame, foam ; lia-wenee, water ; 
lay-ka, wet ; le-areaway, an island, thus again illustrating what we 
have had so often in regard to the names of islands on the other 
side of Bass’ Straits. In the longer form Ja we have lina or linah, 
the common word for river ; liena and lena, water ; lena also the 
sea ; lenone, lake ; lienire, fresh water ; laina, to drink ; wia-line, 
exudation. When we look at the names of rivers, the word linah

river is called; thus, Kuta-linah is the Jordan River ; me

that the forms linah, lonah, and the variations of the same radica 
form have a parallel in the Polynesian form lanw, water. 
water, fresh water. Also in such words as lay-ka wet, mayniack,

: : 
to water, there-are names of islands, headlands, and land 
on the sea-coast in which the same root occurs. Thus, 
Tittanariack is Governor's Island ; Reeneka is Hunter's Island ; 
comyack is East Bay Neck ; Teeralinnack is Eagle Hawk 
Neck; Kennaook is Cape Green; Monattek and Romanraik
