rrangu_, to the creek (_dhurrang_). _Ngurangu_, to the
camp (_ngurang_).

_Ablative_.--_Dhurrandyi_, from the creek; _ngurandyi_, from the camp.
In this case, and also in the dative, the final _g_ of both words is
omitted before applying the suffix.

The accusative is the same as the simple nominative, as will be seen
by the examples given under the nominative-agent.

_Instrumental_.--When an instrument is the remote object of the verb,
the accusative remains unchanged, but the instrumental case takes the
same suffix as the nominative-agent; thus, _mendu wagan burgandu
bume_, the man hit a crow with a boomerang. _Inarru burumain kunnedu
bangabe_, the woman cut a dog with a yamstick.

In the above examples, as well as in the sentences illustrating the
nominative-agent, it will be seen that the agent suffix has euphonic
changes according to the termination of the word it is attached to.
This may be said of the suffixes in all the cases of nouns and
adjectives.

_Adjectives_.

Adjectives take the same inflexions for number and case as the nouns
they qualify, and are placed after them. They are without gender.

_Womboin munun_, a kangaroo large. _Womboinbula mununbula_, a pair of
large kangaroos. _Womboinmuddu mununmuddu_, several large kangaroos.

_Burumaindu munundu womburan buddhe_, a dog large an opossum bit.
_Inarru bubadyallu burai bume_, a woman small a child beat.

_Womboingu munungu dhun_, a large kangaroo's tail.

A big waterhole, _dha-u munun_. _Dha-ugu munungu_, to a big waterhole.
_Dha-wadyi munundyi_, from a big waterhole.

_Comparison_.--_Nyila murrumbangbun-gan_, this is vey good. _Nyilangai
murrumbang wirrai_, that is not good. If the articles compared be
equal in quality, a native would say, This is good--that is good, and
so on.

_Pronouns_.

Pronouns are inflected for number and person, and comprise the
nominative, possessive and objective cases, a few examples in each of
which will be given. There are forms in the dual plural to express the
inclusion or exclusion of the person addressed.

_Singular_.

Nominative. Possessive. Objective.
