Gurre Kamilaroi,
In English we use the sound ŋ or ng only at the end of a syllable; its frequent occurrence at the beginning of a syllable in Kamilaroi is therefore a slight, but only a slight difficulty. It is only necessary to use precisely the same consonant sound which we have in ring, sing, &c., with a vowel after and not before it.N.B. Name the letters as they are pronounced; that is, call g ge (as in get), h he, ŋ eng, r re, w we, and y ye. Thus the name will guide the learner to the proper sound in spelling.The first four words on page 3 are names of men; the next four words are names of women; then, as follow, each line hereunder containing the English words for the correspond line of Kamilaroi:—sun, moon, earth, fire, pennyroyal (herb).man, woman, boy, girl.
