Genitive.—Mêngu bulgang, a man’s boomerang. Bullâdyerugu kunne, a woman’s yamstick. Burrandanggu bullung, a native-bear’s head.
Dative.—Dhurrangu, 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, mêndu wagan bŭrgandu 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.
