THE THURRAWAL LANGUAGE. 157 



The following are some interrogative pronouns: — Nominative, 

 Nyan, who? Nyanda, who (did it)? Possessive, Nyannungai, 

 whose is this? Dative, Nyangu, who for? Nominative, Ming,, 

 what? Dative, Mingangun, what for. 



Verbs. — The verb has three numbers, with the usual persons,, 

 tenses and moods. There are also two forms in the first person 

 of the dual and plural to express the inclusion or exclusion of the 

 individual addressed. As the manner of conjugating these verbs 

 is substantially the same as in the Thurrawal, exigencies of space 

 compel me to omit them. 



Adverbs. — Yelluii, how? Wattungga, where? Wilguja, whither? 

 Kabu, by and bye; Yuin, yes; Beal, no; Murraga, perhaps J 

 Burrapur, to morrow. 



Prepositions, Conjunctions and Interjections. — Space will not 

 admit of examples of these. 



Numerals. — One, wagulwai ; two, buler ; three, buriwai ; four,, 

 wagulwurri, apparently a derivation from "one-three." 



Every part of speech which can be inflected for person and 

 number in the Thurrawal language can be treated in a similar 

 manner in the Dharruk.
