��AN AUSTRALIAN LANGUAGE,
��If it is doslrecl to give emphasis to the idea that the action is con- tiuuative, a separate word is used to denote this. Thus alen, which is the strengthened form of en, is purely a participle with- out distinction of time. The forms in r, re are simple variations of U, find seldom used. The foi'ms in (j, ng-(j, are from ga, 'to go on,' and those in h from ])a, ' to make,' ' cause to be.' The following table will show the various possible forms in which a verb may be found. The separaljle demonstrative particles inserted in the table are: — he, ho\, yan, de,ji. Bo and be seem to add nothing to the meaning; yaii means 'there'; dt or ji means ' to ' or 'at.'
yVi? Saffixes as attached to the root-form of Verbs. To the forms in italics, the spparahh demonstrative particles are added.
