On the south and\r\nsoutheast they were joined by the Thurrawal, whose language has the\r\nsame structure, although differing in vocabulary.\nBesides the verbs and pronouns, many of the nouns, adjectives,\r\nprepositions and adverbs are subject to inflection for number and\r\nperson. Similar inflections have, to some extent, been observed in\r\ncertain islands of the Pacific Ocean, but have not hitherto been\r\nreported in Australia. I have also discovered two forms of the dual\r\nand plural of the first personal pronoun, a specialty which has\r\nlikewise been found in Polynesian and North American dialects. Traces\r\nof a double dual were noticed by Mr. Threlkeld at Lake Macquarie, New\r\nSouth Wales, and traces of a double plural by Mr. Tuckfield in the\r\nGeelong tribe; but the prevalence of both forms of the dual and plural\r\nin different parts of speech in any Australian language has, up to the\r\npresent, escaped observation.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 21866 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Mathews, R.
