Pronouns
In the case of the Woiwurrung pronouns, the stem seems to be the standard ngali (you and I), but the front was suffixed to wa-, so wa+ngal combines to form wangal below.
| Singular | dual | plural | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st person inclusive | wa.ŋal | wa.ŋa.ɲin | |
| 1st person exclusive | wan | wa.ŋan | wa.ŋa.ɲi.ɲu |
| 2nd person | war | wa.bul | wat ɡu.ra.bil(.la), wat ba.lak, wat wu.ɾun.ðu |
| 3rd person | mu.ɲi | mu.ɲi ɡa.ra.bil | ma.lu ɡu.ra.bi.la |
