[I have obtained these words from the Rev. Mr. Bulmer, to show the relation that exists between nouns and verbs. They afford some hints as to the modes in which words have been formed, and the reader can easily add largely to the list by an examination of the vocabularies in this work.]
Native Story.—English—Bundah Wark.
Two blacks, a man and a woman, named Paddy and Kitty, the two went from Lake Tyers,
Bolung kani, bra il woorcat, thärbla Paddy batha Kitty bulla plapa mungä Wärnungatty,
to get some swans' feathers and opossum skins for sale. There was no flour at the station.
wurnalla murm mundärrä bathä märuk ualla. Nätbä lack munga bullagan.
So the two went away for one month, promising to return when the flour came.
Plapa bulla ma kootealla wanedä, bulla mellagalithä mal ngalla belligalitha lack.
