fixes 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."

Prepositions.

Some prepositions can be used separately, as dhooreegoong, between;
warroo, around; willinga, behind, and several others, thus:
Dhooreegoong ngullawoolee, between trees two or between two trees;
gunbee warroo, the fire around or around the fire.

A prepositional meaning is often obtained by a verb; thus, instead of
having a word for "up" or "down," a native will say, Boomaningga, up I
will go; woor[a^]ramuningga, down I will go. Many of the prepositions
admit of conjugation for number and person, as in the following
example:

_Singular._ First Person Behind me Willing[i|]a
Second Person Behind thee Willinganyee
Third Person Behind him Willing[a^]woong

_Dual._ First Person Behind us, incl. Willingangulla
Behind us, excl. Willingangullung
Second Person Behind ye Willingang[a^]wooloong
Third Person Behind them Willingangawoolangoo

_Plural._ First Person Behind us, incl. Willinganyanung
Behind us, excl. Willinganyanungoo
Second Person Behind ye Willinganthooroong
Third Person Behind them Willingadyanung

Space will not permit of a list of adverbs any further than to
illustrate how some of them can be conjugated:

Second Person Where goest thou Ngoondeenee[n~]ee
Third Person Where goes he Ngoondeeneeoong
