The negative is formed by infixing the word muga between the 

 verb stem and the suffix, thus: — 



( Ngullamugamanya, I sit not ; 

 Singular ) Ngullamugamanji, Thou sittest not ; 

 ( Ngullamugaman He or she sits not; 

 and so on through all the persons, numbers, and tenses.

 Singular, 2nd Person Sit thou, Ngullai 

 Dual „ Sit you, Ngullaiul 



Plural „ Sit you, Ngullaianhur 



The conditional mood, and also the middle and passive voices 

 are omitted, being similar in structure to those of the Thurrawal. 

 The numerous modifications of verbs to convey different shades of 

 meaning are also analogous to those of the language mentioned.
