CONDITIONAL MOOD.
Perhaps I will throw Yerreeningga booramboonda
If a negative meaning be required, it is effected by means of an infix, mooga, between the verb-stem and the abbreviated pronoun. One example in the first person singular in each tense will exhibit the negative form of the verb:
I am not throwing Yerreemoogamangga
I did not throw Yerreemoogaringga
I will not throw Yerreemooganingga
This negative infix can be applied in the same manner to all the persons of the three tenses.
There are numerous modifications of the verbal suffixes to convey variations of meaning; as, “I threw at him,” “He threw at me,” etc., which can be conjugated for number and person. Case can also be indicated in this way, as already stated in dealing with the nouns.
Verbs have no passive voice. If a native desires to state that a fish was swallowed by a pelican, he would say, “A pelican swallowed a fish.”
