- Note — Here Broken Baj- is spoken of both as the cause and the agent, so that the
meaning is — on account of Broken Bay being the au:ent, you see Sydney Heads. The particle tin, ' from,' ' on account of,' denotes the cause, and to (ko) marks the agency.
t The English expression ' in order that ' is too long to stand under and correspond with ' koa' in the above. I have, therefore, substituted for it, throughout, the Latin 'ut.
