The comparison of adjectives follows rule similar to those explained in my article on “The Gundungurra Language.”[9]
It will be observed that there are modifications in the case-endings of nouns and adjectives, depending upon the termination of the word declined. Moreover, these suffixes for number and case are applied to the simple nominative—not the nominative-agent.
Pronouns.
Pronouns take inflexion for number, person and case. There are two forms in the first person of the dual and plural—one in which the person or persons addressed are included with the speaker, and another in which they are exclusive of the speaker; these are marked “incl.” and “excl.” in the following table:
Singular.
1st Person I Ngaty Mine yekaiuk. 2nd „ Thou Ngin Thine Ngindaiuk. 3rd „ He Malu His Maigungety.
Dual.
1st Person We, incl. Ngal Ours, incl. Ngallaiuk.
We, excl. Ngalung Ours, excl. Ngallunguk.
2nd „ You Ngluen Yours Ngulaiuk.
3rd „ They Malubulak Theirs Magaty-bulagaty.
