14 THE WOMBAT, 
(7) The Australian nga is ‘I,’ but a stronger form is xga-do, 
ngatu-k, both of which are used in the State of Victoria ; nga-ta 
and nga-toa in New South Wales; nga-tha and nga-tu-ko in 
Western Australia, The terminations do, ta are constant, for 
they are merely affixes, but the a of nga is modified into @, e, to 
form the plural ; asin Awabakal nga-toa, ‘ I,’ plural nge-en * we.’ 
Hence I write ngi-do in this number 7. 
The guli here is the numeral ‘three.’ Many Australian 
languages count ouly ‘ one ’ and ‘ two,’ and then make compounds 
of these words for ‘ three’ and ‘ four;’ but several use guliba, 
ngoro, wahr-ran and some other words for ‘ three.’ Observe that 
in guliba the demonstrative affix Ja has a place, and the stem is 
guli, which Mr Tuckfield represents by Lolli. 
8,11, 20,28. The wd here is ngu-d, that is ngu, with a 
formative d added, probably the d of do, as in gna-do, That ngu 
is a form of the second pronoun is proved by the Awabakal nu-ra, 
‘you,’ the Diyéri yu-ra, ‘you, yudla, ‘ you two,’ and the South 
Australian ngun, ngunnu, ‘ you,’ ngu-pal,‘ you two.’ 
(9) Za-na, in Awabakal tara, is the plural of ta. 
(10) This wadjo is at present only a suggestion of mine, for I 
have no proof for it. The nearest approach to it is madyu, ‘ 1’ used 
at Fort Cooper, and wo-n, ‘I’ in Woddowro. 
(11, 12) See above. 
(18, 14) Ung is a genitive and dative inflexion in Awabakal ; 
for-iimba, that is, ung-ba, is used for the possessive of proper names, 
but o-ba for all other nouns, In that instance and in number 14 
the ba and the da are both suffix demonstratives. In my arrange- 
ment I have written ko-dd (a modified), for I do not know whether 
Mr Tuckfield’s de is to be sounded as day or dee. 
(15-24) The forms in these numbers have been considered 
above, 
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE LIST OF PRONOUNS, 
(1) I do not know whether Mr Tuckfield’s MSS. show the 
objective cases of these pronouns, but it would have been an ad- 
yantage to me tohave them under consideration ; for that case is 
often a key to the rest of the pronoun in Australia. 
(2) Observe that in the dual forms of the first and second 
persons, the pronoun is crushed out, and in the third nearly so. 
(3) The suggestion that bula and guliba were to ke found in- 
corporated in the Binal and Vernal, was made by Prof. T, G. 
Tucker, of the University of Melbourne, to whom Mr Cary com- 
municated his discovery at the first.
