ive, there is no change in the noun, except when it is the
subject of a transitive verb, and then it requires the agent-suffix;
as, _Wuthung wirrungan burdumin_, a man a dog beat; _leuru wirringal
kurgin_, a woman a perch caught; _wirrunganu gure bundin_, a dog a
kangaroo bit.

In the possessive case, the name of the proprietor and of the property
each take a suffix, as, _Wuthunggety wanuk_, a man's boomerang;
_leurgety larnuk_, a woman's camp; _wirrungangety birkuk_, a dog's
tail.

_Instrumental_.--This is the same as the nominative-agent, thus, _Ngaty
gure duggin wanu_, I a kangaroo hit with a boomerang.

_Dative_.--_larngak_, to a camp. _Ablative_.--_wuthunyu_, from a man.
The accusative is the same as the nominative.

_Adjectives_.

Adjectives follow the nouns and take similar declensions.

_Number_.--_Wuthu kurumbirt_, a man large. _Wuthubulet kurumbirtbulet_,
a couple of big men. _Wuthubarak kurumbirtbarak_, several big men.

_Nominative-agent_.--_Wuthung kurumbirru wille burdumin_, a large man
an opossum killed.

_Possessive_.--_Wuthunggety kurumbirungety wanuk_, a big man's
boomerang.

_Ablative_.--Wuthunyung kurumbirung_, from a big man.

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_.

_Plural_.

1st Person We, incl. _Yangur_ Ours, incl. _Yangureuk_.
We, excl. _Yandang_ Ours, excl. _Yandeuk_.
