PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. 



The following pages represent the first attempt to classify 
and reduce to a written form the grammar and vocabulary 
of the language spoken by the Motu tribe of New Guinea. 
As a first attempt it is necessarily imperfect, but I need 
make no apology for its publication. The first step 
towards accuracy and correctness is only taken when 
the result of observation and study is put into print. 

The vocabulary in both parts would have been more 
full if I had been able, while in New Guinea, fully to 
prepare it for the Press. When I came to Sydney three 
months ago, I brought with me in MS. the material for 
the following pages, but had no intention of printing 
it. The ready promise of the Hon. A. Stuart, on behalf 
of the New South Wales Government Press, and the 
kindly offer of the Rev. G. Pratt to arrange the work 
and prepare it for the printer, induced me to give to the 
public that which would have been better for another 
year's research and preparation. 

But for Mr. Pratt's experienced pen and unwearied 
patience, the work would not have been half so good or 
complete as it is. 

My knowledge of the language has been acquired 
during seven years residence among the people who 
speak it. 

My colleague, Mr. Chalmers, has contributed largely 
both to grammar and vocabulary, but must not be held 
responsible for anything I have published, as there has 
been no opportunity of submitting the work to him for 
revision before going to press. 

In carrying out the provisions of the Protectorate, 
which has been proclaimed over part of New Guinea, it 
will be of the first importance that all who have to do 
with the natives in an official capacity should be able to 
speak to the people in their own language. This little 
work will, I hope, be of some use to those who may be

located in the Port Moresby district. From the know- 
ledge we have of the dialects spoken in the Hood Bay 
and South Cape districts, there is every reason to believe 
that the grammar of the language of the S.E. Coast, from 
Maiva to the East Cape, is practically the same, the only 
difference being in the vocabulary. The consonantal 
changes in the different dialects are remarkable. Con- 
sonants of different classes taking the place of each other, 
as for instance / being exchanged for / or r. 

In the Motu dialect the sibilant never occurs before 
an a, o, or it, but at South Cape we meet with the s before 
all vowels, and find the Samoan words — isit, nose, and 
susit, breast. 

On my return I hope to be able to prepare something 
like a comparative grammar and specimen vocabulary 
of the different dialects spoken in the districts where we 
have mission stations established. I have to ask all 
using the following pages kindly to supply me with any 
additions or corrections they may discover, so that the 
next edition may be a much nearer approach to accuracy 
and completeness.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITON. 

The present edition has been revised, corrected, and 
enlarged. A good many new words have been added, 
and a few pages of phrases likely to be of use to begin- 
ners or visitors. 

The comparative vocabulary will be of interest to 
philologists. It comprises 400 words in seven dialects 
of the south-east coast, and illustrates the difference 
which exists, as well as the changes which a word passes 
through by dropping or changing its consonants. 

The New South Wales Government, through the Hon. 
J. Burns, have kindly consented to print the following 
pages, and so enabled me to share with others the 
results of my study and research.

INTRODUCTION. 

BY Rev. G. PRATT. 

In the grammar of the Motu dialect of New Guinea one 
peculiarity is in the use of letters so much alike as to be 
scarcely distinguishable, e.g., the letters b and p, keboka or 
Jcepolca ; d and t, bcida or lata • g and q, qanua or guanua ; r 
and 1, ara and ala. 

The pronunciation of t before e and i as ts, is also a recent 
introduction to Niue or Savage Island. "When we first went 
there we found the young people generally using it, whilst the 
old men, especially on public occasions, pronounced the t. In the 
same way, the Tahitians have changed b into p ; the Sandwich 
Islanders have changed t into k, and the Samoans are endea- 
vouring to do the same. As these islands had little or no 
communication with one another, how is it that these changes, 
as if by common consent, have been made ? 

The Motuan language seems to be a strange mixture of 
Papuan and Eastern Polynesian. The grammar is Papuan, the 
dictionary is Eastern Polynesian. The suffixed pronoun and the 
method of counting by two threes for six, and two fours for eight, is 
Papuan. Very peculiar is the declension of the noun by means 
of pronouns ; also, the use of both the separate and the suffix 
pronoun with the noun, Lau aegu, my leg, mine. 

Suffix pronoun. Duke of York Island. 

gu, I g 

mu, your m 

na, his n 

These are evidently Papuan roots, made to conform to Eastern 
Polynesian by adding a vowel to the termination. 

Many of the words seem to have Papuan roots, but all take 
the form of Eastern Polynesian. 

The formation of the noun by adding na to the verb is like 
the Samoan ga, used in the same way. The use of a, in rela- 
tion to food, adia for edia, corresponds with the Samoan lau 
for lou. 



viii INTRODUCTION. 

Some of the numerals are Eastern Polynesian— f«, one; 
rua, two ; liitu, seven. Hid, a hair used for ten, resembles 
the fulu hair or feather in Samoan, and seems to indicate the 
same use of a tally in counting. The singular pronouns, 
law, oi, ia, are Eastern Polynesian (au, oe, ia). The plural 
are Papuan. 

Having different words for counting different articles, is, as 
far as I know, in use only in the East. 

A Tahitian idiom is seen in the word hanamoa (lit., to make 
good) to praise. In Tahitian, haamaitai. 

The dearth of particles, and the arrangement of words in a 
sentence, seem to make the sense obscure. " He Jerusalem 
journey made, he towns and villages passed through, he them 
taught went." That is a literal translation of Luke 13, 22. 

In arranging and copying out the Dictionary, I was struck 
with the numerous divergencies from the Eastern Polynesian 
dialects, and with the very large number of words which have no 
counterpart there. 

Though th is much used, it is often changed to d, as daudu 
for tautu. It is also prefixed to some words beginning with 
a vowel or h, as diho for ifo or hifo, due for ae or hake. 
In the same way 1 is prefixed, as lahi for afi, and is often 
omitted in the beginning or middle of a word, as tui for tuli, 
ima for lima. 

Gr being nasal in Eastern Polynesian, is omitted, as tai (to cry) 
for tagi, taia (an ear) for taliga, lao for lago (a fly). On the 
contrary g hard is inserted, as tage for tae. 

M is substituted for g, as matama for amataga. Again it is 
prefixed, as in miri (gravel) for ili. N is omitted, as maino for 
manino. Having no f, p or h is substituted for it, as fata for 
fata. 

Tet more strange is the alteration of vowels. A long is put 
for short a, as mala (the eye) for mtita, manu (a bird) for maim. 
is put for u, as namo (a mosquito) for namu, ramu (to chew) 
for lamu. 

Some words change their meaning, as lele (to swim) means to 
fly in Eastern Polynesian. Hanua (a village) for fanua (land). 
Tunica (to burn Pottery) for tuuu (to roast). Sinavai (a river) 
for a water-fall.

The number of compound words and of doubled words is very 
observable. In the latter case they were not satisfied, as their 
Eastern brethren are, with doubling part of the word, but 
repeated the whole, as lielcisehelcise. 

Erom the meanings of the words of the Dictionary many of 
the customs of the people may be learnt. We find there, that 
though naked savages, they are fond of adorning themselves with 
feather head dresses and chaplets with strings of teeth, shell 
armlets, and a bone passed through the nose as a " nose-jewel." 
In addition to these, they paint their bodies, and also tattoo ; 
this is done by making a black paint with burnt resin and water. 
"With this they mark the design on the body of the young man who 
is to be operated on. Then the skin is punctured by an instrument 
dipped in the black paint and driven in by a tap with the mallet.

x INTRODUCTION, 

Besides the usual articles of food, consisting of taro, yams, 
bananas, sugarcane, and cocoanuts, they have sago, -which they 
make into puddings with bananas. They cook their food by 
boiling in an earthenware pot ; or if an animal, they roast it on 
a spit. Banana leaves serve for plates. In times of scarcity 
they eat the stem of the banana. 

Pish is grilled on a gridiron of sticks. They also cook with 
heated stones after the manner of the Eastern Polynesians. The 
Elema people cook sago in hard cakes, which they sell. 

When going to fight they paint their faces red. Their 
weapons are a spear, bow and arrows, a stone headed club, and 
the man-catcher. This last article consists of a loop at the end 
of a pole, which being put over the head of the retreating foe, on 
to his neck, held him back. It is armed with a sharp point so as 
to pierce the back of the neck. A newly married man is exempt 
from war. 

They make earthenware pots and other vessels for domestic 
use. In order to shape them, in one hand they hold a stone, 
and insert it inside of the vessel, while with the other hand they 
fashion the outside with a small piece of flat wood. Their pottery 
has an ornamental marking on the edge of the bowl, which is 
equivalent to the trade mark of civilized nations. Dry banana 
leaves are used for packing when exported. 

Besides pottery, they use the cocoanut shell for a drinking 
cup. To keep oil or fat, they carve a cocoanut shell, and make a 
cover to it. 

A kind of ship is made by lashing several canoes together. 
Caulking is effected with banana leaves and the gum of a tree. 
On the top of these canoes is erected a platform with a house at 
either end. In these houses they stow away the crockery which 
is taken to be exchanged for sago. The captain has a separate 
place in which to stow away his crockery. "In these ships they 
make long voyages. Before starting a farewell dance of an 
indecent character is held. 

To assist the steering of these unwieldly structures, laro-e lono- 
paddles are let down by the side, and they act as centre-boards.° 

Like Eastern Polynesians, they beat out the inner bark of the 
paper-mulberry, with which they make cloth. They also plait 
mats. Large netted bags are used by the women in which to 
carry their children, and smaller bags of the same kind are used 
for carrying other articles. They have nets for fishing, and also 
for catching kangaroos, wild pigs, and dugong. Pish are also 
speared. 



INTRODUCTION. xi 

Charms are used, such as a smooth stone to make the yams 
grow. Also one particular leaf of the" banana, that nearest the 
bunch of fruit (gogo) is thought to make yams fruitful. Coming 
events are foreshown by sneezing or by quivering of the body. 
By cracking the fingers they predict the coming home of a ship. 
During the absence of the men on a voyage, a sacred woman 
performs certain rites to ensure the safe return of the voyagers. 
Incantations are used to bring misfortune and death on an 
obnoxious partly. A man in a fit is supposed to be possessed of 
a demon. The spirits of those killed are believed to appear to 
survivors in some dreadful form. They believe in spirits who 
are malevolent ; and that certain persons have influence over 
them, so as to secure their services in executing vengeance on 
enemies. In sickness the soul leaves the body, and it is the 
province of the sorcerer to find and bring it back. Passes are 
made by the sorcerer over the body of the sick man. He 
receives a payment for his services. 

Some of the prevalent diseases are, abscess, ulcers, yaws, rash, 
rheumatism, whitlow, erysipelas, thrush, vomiting, constipation, 
fits, palsy, dropsy, and elephantiasis. Sickness is sometimes 
caused by sleeping on the place where visitors have slept a night 
or two previously. Villages were sometimes deserted on account 
of sickness often occurring in it. In drawing blood they use a 
flint pointed instrument like a small arrow ; with this they lanced 
the forehead by repeatedly discharging it from a small bow. This 
was the cure for headache. Friends pay visits to their sick friends. 

Suicide is committed either by drowning or hanging, or by 
leaping from a tree or a cliff. Hired assassins are made use of. 
When grieving for the dead they scratch their faces, so as to 
draw blood, or else they cut themselves with a flint or shell. A 
coarse cloth is worn as a mourning garment, or a cane is plaited 
round the body. The beat of a drum answers to the funeral 
knell. On the death of a husband, an enclosure of mats is made 
round the grave ; inside of this the widow sits and mourns. They 
bury their dead. 

By way of sports, they have a spinning top. They have a low 
swing, and also a very high one depending from the top of a 
high leaning cocoanut palm. They practice throwing the spear, 
and they run races. A musical instrument is made of reeds ; 
and a drum by stretching a green skin over a hollow wooden 
frame. Native poets compose songs, for which they are paid. 
The betel nut is chewed. 

They marry and are polygamists. Divorce is common. The 
woman is betrothed to a husband ; but breaches of promise are 



zii INTRODUCTION. 

in vogue. Gifts are made in expectation of a return gift. _ Like 
civilized people, credit is sometimes given. The stomach is con- 
sidered to be the seat of the affections ; hence, to feel pity is to 
have the stomach-ache. Cocoanuts are made taboo as in Eastern 
Polynesia by plaiting a coeoanut leaf round a tree. Fences for 
their gardens are made by sticks, or split bamboos, placed length- 
ways, like a hurdle fence. The waterpot is carried either on the 
head or shoulder. To pass along in front of a chief is regarded 
as a mark of disrespect. 

Hospitality is shown to strangers ; but treachery is practised 
to an enemy. He is invited to partake of food, and then killed, 
as Amnon was by Absalom. 

They have distinguishing terms for the hospitable, kind-hearted, 
good-tempered, courteous man ; and also for the abusive, churlish 
man. The industrious man, the one who stores up for future 
use, is praised ; while the lazy man and the thief are abused. 
Thus " they show the law written in their hearts, their conscience 
bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another 
accusing or else excusing them."

GRAMMAR OF MOTU LANGUAGE. 



The Motu language is spoken by the Motu tribe living at Port 
Moresby, Pari, Borebada, Lealea, and Manumanu ; also by 
natives of Delena, Boera, Tatana, Vabukori, Tupuselei, Kaile, 
and Kapakapa. There are considerable local differences in pro- 
nunciation, 

LETTERS. 

The Motu alphabet consists of nineteen letters, viz., — a, e, i, o, 
u, b, d, g, h, 7c, I, m, n,p, q, r, s, t, v. 

A is pronounced, — 

1st. Long, as in "father"; vara, to grow. 

2nd. Short, as in " mat" ; liarihari, to-day ; varavara rela- 
tions. 
JH, i, o, u, are pronounced as in Italian. 

There are slight differences in quantity for which no rules can 
be given. 

Usually e is sounded as a in take. 

eager, 
no. 
shoe. 

The consonants are for the most part pronounced as in English. 

B, native name hi. This is generally sounded as b in bad ; 
but in some cases it approaches nearly to the^> sound, and when 
pronounced quickly is scarcely distinguishable from p. 

D, native name di, as d in dip. Like b this has the rougher 
and softer sound ; sometimes it is almost /. 

G, native name ga, as g in good. In some words it has a sound 
between the ordinary g and k ; as au ginigini, a nettle; but ait 
ginigini (almost k), a thorny tree. 

H, native name eii (pronounced etsi). (The reason for the 
name of this letter being at variance with rule is that a large 
number of natives who speak the Motu language drop the h, the 
name to them would be the satre as the vowel e.) This is the 
nearest a native can pronounce to the English name of the letter. 
It is a characteristic of the Pari and some other natives to drop 
the h entirely ; they pronounce hanua, anua ; haine, aine, &c.

2 GRAMMAR. 

K, native name Ice, as h in key. 

L, native name la, as I in lady. 

M, native name mo, as m in man. 

N, native name nu, as n in now. 

P, native namej)/, asj? in pig. 

Q, native name Tciu, as q in queen. The £ in Motuan does not 
take an u after it. 

R, native name ro, as r in robber. 

8, native name sa, as s in sing. S never occurs in Motuan 
before before an a or u, and rarely before o. 

T, native name ti. Before a, o, or « it is sounded as t in take. 
Before e or i it becomes ts, like the Tsade in Hebrew, raruoti pro- 
nounced raruotsi. 

V, native name vi, as v in victor. 

Of diphthongs there are two: — 

ai, pronounced like English ai in aisle. 

an, „ „ ow in cow. 

No two consonants can ever stand together without a vowel 
between. 

SYLLABLES. 

Every syllable must end in a vowel, hence every syllable is an 
open one, and in introducing foreign names or words this should 
be remembered. The natives will always so divide a word that 
each syllable will end in a vowel. 

ACCEXT. 

As a rule the accent is on the penultima ; but there are 
exceptions. 

When suffixes are added the accent is shifted forward, as halne, 
hainena, mero, merona. 

Reduplicated words have the two accents of the simple form, 
as Tcadara, kadara-lcadara. 

The natives of Tupuselei, Kapakapa, and Kaile, are known by 
the peculiarity of raising the voice on the last syllable of the 
sentence. 

WOEDS. 

1. THE ARTICLE. 

There does not seem to be any distinctive definite article. 
Harl, an adverb of time, now, is often used as a definite article. 
Hari Icekeni, the girl. 



GRAMMAR. 3 

In the same way, varani, yesterday, vanegai, the other day, and 
idaunegai, a long time ago, are used, where in other languages 
an article would be employed. Varani lakatoi, the ship, the 
particular ship which came yesterday, or about which we talked 
yesterday. Vanegai ira edeseni ? — Day before yesterday, hatchet, 
where ? 

To, (an abbreviation of tamona) one, is used as indefinite article, 
as, Lakatoi ta vata emaimu, a ship is coming. 

2. THE NOUN. 

Nouns are primitive, as au, a tree; nadi,& stone; or derivative, 
as igui, a bundle ; from guia, to tie. 

Nouns are formed from verbs by prefixing i to the verb root, 
as Jcohoa, to nail ; i/coko, a nail ; lapaia, to smite ; ilapa, a sword. 
When the noun is the agent performing the action of the verb, 
tauna is added, as Icalia, to help ; ilcaJiana tauna, a helper. Also 
by he prefixed, as dibagani, to tempt ; hedibagani, a temptation ; 
nanadai, to question ; henanadai, a questioning. 

Some nouns are formed from verbs by suffixing na, as doko, to 
end ; dolcona, the end. 

GENDER. 

Gender is sometimes expressed by different words ; — 
Tau, man. Same, woman. 

Mero, boy. Keheni, girl. 

Dabari, male wallaby. Miara, female wallaby. 
When there is no distinct word the gender of animals is 
distinguished by adding maruane, male, and haine, female, respec- 
tively, as, horoma maruane, boar, ooroma haine, sow. 

NUMBER. 

The plural is sometimes indicated by reduplicating one syllable, 
as 

Mero, boy. Memero, boys. 

Or by dropping one or even two syllables, as 

Tauhau, a young man. Uhau, young men. 
Haniulato, maiden. TJlato, maidens. 

There seems to be no certain means of indicating the plural, 
nadi, is stone or stones ; ruma, house or houses. As soon, 
however, as they can be put in the possessive, then the termination 
dia distinguishes the plural, as uina nadidia, the stones of the 
garden ; hanua rumadia, village houses, i.e., the houses of the 
Tillage. 



4 GRAMMAR. 

Diet is sometimes added to the simple noun as, tau, man ; 
taudia, men ; haine, woman ; hainedia, women. In most cases 
perhaps another noun is understood, as in taudia in the above 
example, hanua village, or iduhu family may be understood. Dia 
is the pronominal suffix of third person plural (see below). It 
may in some cases be the first syllable of diagau many. Words 
signifying multitude are also used with the singular to denote 
plural, as 

Au momo, many trees. 

Manu diagau, many birds. 

Hanua logora, many towns. 

CASE. 

Case is indicated by prepositions and suffixes. The nominative 
is the simple form, and may be known by its position in the 
sentence, always standing first, Qarume umui o abia vata namo, 
the fish you have taken are good. 

The Genitive is expressed by adding the suffix na singular and 
dia plural for parts of the body, and family relations, as 
Lohiabada aena, chief leg his, i.e., the chief's leg. 
Mero sinana, boy mother his, i.e., the boy's mother. 

In other cases, such as property, land, weapons, &c, ena is 
placed after the principal noun, and before that of which it is 
possessed. 

Lohiabada ena ruma, chief his house, i.e., the house of the chief. 

Keheni ena dabua, girl her dress, i.e., the dress of the girl. 

Plural nouns take the plural suffix dia instead of na in the 
singular, and edia for ena, as : — 

Memero aedia, boys leg theirs, i.e., the legs of the boys. 

Hanua taudia edia rumadia, village men their houses, i.e., the 
houses of the villagers. 

Pood takes ana and adia instead of ena and edia, as : — 

Haine ana maJw, woman her yam, i.e., the yam of the woman. 

Memero adia tohu, boys their sugar cane, i.e., the sugar cane 
of the boys. 

The Dative is expressed by ena following the noun or ana if 
food, as : — 

Dabua sinada ena, dress our mother hers, i.e., the dress is for 
the mother. 

JBigu tamada ana, banana our father his, i.e., the banana is for 
the father. 

Por plural see genitive above. 



GBAMMAB. 5 

The Accusative is known by its position in the sentence, and 
also by dekena an adverb of proximity. 

Loliiabada dekena lao, chief by side of go ; go to the chief. 

Dekena is often shortened into ena. 

The Vocative is indicated by e sometimes o following the noun. 

Tamagu e! my father. 

Sinagu e! O my mother. 

The Ablative is governed by amo from, as : — 

Quia amo mai, heaven from come, i.e., from the heaven. 

By addition of lalona inside, as : — 

Ruma lalona ai, house inside it, i.e., in the house. 

By lata suffixed to the verb of which it is the agent or instru- 
ment, as : — 

la inero heaulaia, he, child ran away with, i.e., he ran away 
with the child. 

Dabua hurilaia rami, clothes wash with water, i.e., water to 
wash clothes with. 



The noun w 


ith its cases is as follows : — 




Singular. 


Norn. 


Saine, woman. 


G-en. 


Maine ena, of a woman. 


Dative. 


Haine ena, for a woman. 


Accus. 


Saine dekena, to a woman. 


Voca. 


Haine e, woman ! 


Abla. 


Saine amo, from a woman. 




Saine lalonai, in a woman. 




Plural. 


Norn. 


Sainedia, women. 


Gen. 


Sainedia edia, of women. 


Dative. 


„ „ for women. 


Accus. 


,, dekedia, to women. 


Voca. 


Sainemui e, women ! 


Abla. 


Sainedia amo, from women. 




,, lalodiai, in women. 



3. THE ADJECTIVE. 

The adjective is known rather by its position in the sentence 
than by anything distinctive in its form. It follows its noun, as, 
ira namo, a good hatchet. Personal qualities are most frequently 
expressed, by two nouns in apposition, the person following the 
quality, as : — 

Goada fauna, a strong man, literally, strength of man. Tau 
goada is less frequently used. 



6 GRAMMAR. 

A kind of compound adjective is used by union of a noun with 
an adjective, as, Haine udu inauri, a live-mouthed woman ; Lalo 
auka fauna, a hard-stomached man. 

Diminutives are frequently expressed by reduplication, as, 
Tcekeni, girl ; kelcenikekeni, little girl. 

Adjectives expressive of colours are all reduplicated, as, Jeuro- 
kuro, white ; Jcoremakorema, black. By the addition of ka the

5. VERBS. 

Verbs are for the most part primitive or underived words, as 
ffini, to stand ; noho, to dwell. Some are derived from adjectives 
by prefixing the causative and adding a, as namo, good ; hanamoa, 
to make good. 

PERSON. 

There is no change in the verb itself for person. It is 
expressed by the pronoun and a vowel or particle placed between 
it and the verb, as : — 



1st person 


Lau na diba, 


I knew. 


2nd „ 


Oi o diba,

verb. 

Pbesent : vctta vada ; used also of past when the action is 
finished and complete, as Lau vata diba, &c, &c, I know. 

Past by the following particles : — 

1st plural (exclusive) a 
1st person na __ ;> (inelusiv , e ) ta 

2nd „ o 
3rd „ e 

As Lau na diba, 
Oi o diba, 

A particle me is often added in both past and future tenses, 
but without adding anything to the meaning, as Lau name diba, 
Oi ome diba, &c. 



2nd 

3rd „ e 

I knew. 

You- knew, &c, &c. 



Lau bama diba,

Umui boma diba, 
Idia baema diba,

10 GRAMMAR. 

Futuke is known by the following words preceding the verb, 

viz : — 

1st plural (exclusive) ham 
1st person lama ^ 1 ^ (inclusive) laiia, 

2nd „ la 2nd „ la 

3rd „ laine 2rd „ bae 

As: — 

Xaw Sainn A'Sa, I shall know. 

la laine dila, He shall know, &c, &c. 

It is often used as a conditional, possible, future. "When 
certainty is expressed do is placed before it : — 

Zau do labia dila. I shall (certainly) know. 

The I of the above is dropped to express an immediate future, 

as : — 

Ita aita mate, We shall (soon) die. 

The do above is often used with the negative to signify " not 
yet," but implying that it will take place : — 

la do mai lasi, He hasn't yet come. 

There is a present participle ending in nzu, which always takes 
the vowels of the past tense before it, as : — ■ 

Zau na dilamu, I am knowing. 

Oi o dilamu, You are knowing. 

la e dilamu, He is knowing, &c, &e. 

There is also a past participle ending in va which also takes 
the same vowels before it as the present participle : — 
Lau na nohota, I was dwelling, itc , &c. 

IMPEKATIVE MOOD. 

Expressed by a and ha both in singular and plural. In entreaty 
ame and bame are often used. 

Oi a Tcamonai, Hear thou. 

Oi la itaia, Look thou. 

Oi ame loTcamai hisi, Have mercy on us. 

INFINITIVE MOOD. 

This has no distinctive form, but takes baina, &c, as in the 
future, as : — 



Baina dila, ) m . 

Sa dila, ) To kQ0ST > &c - **• 



The word totona is also often used to express object, where in 
EDglish we should use the infinitive, as : — 

la vala mai Tcamonai totona, He came to hear.

subject of the verb being added to it, as : — 

Henao, to steal. Henaoa, to be stolen. 

LaJcatani, to leave. La.kaia.nigu, I am left. 

Sometimes by the auxiliary verb to give, as :—

Diba, to know. Hadiba, to cause to know. 

The Becipuocal. 

This is expressed by prefixing he and suffixing helieni to the 
verb, which is also generally reduplicated, as : — 
Sebadubadulieheai, To be angry with one another. 

There is no verb to be. It is expressed by the pronoun and 
noun or adjective with a verbal particle as copula, as : — 

Lau vata dika, I am bad. Lau baina gorere, I shall be 6ick. 

Mai, and, is sometimes used, as :— 

Hosea mai antiia hani ? Is there anything in the basket ? 

Ma used before the verb signifies .continued action, as : — 

Ma talma, To continue seeking. 
Ma koau, To continue speaking. 

Reduplication also signifies continued action, as : — 
Kadarakadara, To continue playing. 

Lai or rai with the suffix of the person added to the verb 
denotes the instrumental " with" or objective " at," as : — 

Dabua Tmrilaia ranu, The water the clothes are washed with. 
la niu ta lau Tcoilaigu, He deceived me -with a coacoanut.

GRAMMAR. 15 



SYNTAX. 



Much that belongs properly to the syntax has been already 
stated under tho different parts of speech. The following notes 
on the order of words in a sentence, &c, will complete it. 

The noun or pronoun in the nominative case usually precedes 
the verb, as, Mero vata heau, The boy runs. Ia bainema, He will 
come. "With verbs active, the agent is always put first, and the 
subject acted upon next, followed by the verb, as Lau ia dadabaia, 
I he beat him, that is, I beat him. Ia natuna lau liadilmgu, He 
his child I abused me. 

Observe the suffix agreeing with the object is always added to 
the verb. In the above examples, Lau ia dadabaia, I he beat 
him. Ia natuna, Ids child, lau, I, liadika-gu, abused me. The 
suffix to a noun requires its corresponding pronoun to precede it, 
as, Lau imagu, I hand my, my hand. Idia matadia vata Jiapa- 
padia, their eyes them were opened them. Also in such sentences 
as these, Hanua taudia idia edia rumadia, Village men their 
houses them. Mero idia toliu baine Jienidia, Boy they sugarcane 
will give them. 

Compound verbs take the suffix after the first word, as, Hatore' 
guisi, I am raised up. Oi butumutao, Thou art caught. 

The genitive of material is made by putting the two nouns 
together, and suffixing na to the qualified noun, as biri rumana, 
palm leaf house his, a palm leaf house. The plural takes dia, as 
nara vanagidia, cedar canoes theirs. Also nouns signifying the 
use to which a thing is applied, as, Koliu rumana, goods house 
his, a store-house. Ira segea gauna, hatchet sharpen thing, a 
hatchet sharpener. 

Hani the sign of a question is always put last in the sentence. 
Mero vata gorere liani? The boy ill is ? It is like the English, 
Eh? A pause is made before liani. A question is of ten indicated 
by tone of the voice solely. 

Interrogative adverbs come last in sentence, as Ia be daiha ? 
"Who is he ? Idia edeseni ai ? "Where are they ? &c. 

A peculiar idiom is used to express, " on account of." Ia bigu 
baduna badu, he bananas anger [is] angry, i.e., he is angry on 



16 GBAMMAB. 

account of the bananas. Idia loroma garidia gari, They pigs 
their fear [are] afraid. They are afraid "because of the pigs. 
Oi lau garigu gari, Thou I my fear [art] afraid. You are afraid 
of me. Mero hitolo taina tai, Boy hunger his crying cries, i.e., 
the boy cries from hunger. 

Another peculiar idiom is the breaking up of a sentence, and 
putting the negative before each member, as in Luke xi, 7. 
I will not rise to you, I will not give. 

The negative is put between the two nouns, as Umui idia garidia 
hasi o gari, You they fear their do not fear, i.e., do not be afraid 
of them. See also Luke xxiii, 28. 

The personal pronoun and its noun must agree in person. A 
pronoun of the singular number cannot take a noun with a plural 
suffix. When in English we should say " my eyes," in Motuan 
it is " my eye" only, two must be added to make its dual, as 
Lau matagu rua. " My children" will be Lau natu-gu. If plural 
has to be expressed particularly, a noun of multitude will be 
added, as verina the company, or logora all. 

A long speech quoted requires to be followed by, " he said so." 
See Luke xvi, 24. la ini e koautoma.

COMPARATIVE VOCABULARY OF SEVEN 
NEW GUINEA DIALECTS. 

The first column in the following vocabulary represents the 
language spoken by the Motu tribe (seepage 1 in Grammar). 
The second column is the dialect of Kerepunu or Hood Bay. 
The people of Hula, or Hood Point, speak the same language 
with slight variations. The inland villages, and also the large 
village of Kalo, speak almost the same dialect. 

The third column is the language spoken in the large distric 
of Aroma, a few miles east of Hood Bay, 

The fourth column is that of South Cape. This dialect is 
spoken with some variations by the tribes scattered from 
Orangerie Bay to Milne Bay. The languages spoken at Heath 
Island and at East Cape are as different as those of Hood Bay 
and Aroma. "Want of space has prevented these being included 
in the vocabulary. 

The next column is from the west of Port Moresby, and 
represents the districts inland of Eedscar Bay. Between Kabadi 
and Hall Sound are the villages of !N"aara ; and these speak a 
language with more of the Maiva or Lolo element in it. 

The sixth column represents the language spoken by the 
people of Maiva, Kivori, &c, west of Hall Sound. Closely 
allied to this is the Lolo dialect, spoken by the tribes in that 
large and populous district. 

The last column is a specimen of the languages spoken by the 
tribes in the Gulf of Papua. It is in many particulars essentially 
different, both in grammar and vocabulary, to the others, and is 
spoken by people darker in colour, and different in habits to 
those in the Eastern peninsula. 

The words have been collected as follows : — In our college at 
Port Moresby we have youths from almost all the places above-

thorough knowledge of the Motuan. I printed the list of words 
and gave them out, a slip at a time, to be filled in by the most 
intelligent of the students. In this way several of them were 
completed by natives only, while in other cases the original 
lists were filled in by Earotongan or Samoan teachers employed 
in our Mission. With the exception of Kabadi and Motumotu 
the whole of the words have been carefully read over with the 
natives of the several districts, and are as accurate as they can 
be made without a personal knowledge of the languages. In the 
case of Motumotu, the murder of Tauraki, the mission teacher, 
has deprived me of the opportunity of correcting the slips from 
there. The teacher was one of our most intelligent men, and by 
far the best linguist we had. Philology has sustained a loss in 
his untimely death. Some of the words collected by him were 
revised by Mr. E. Gr. Edelfelt, a gentleman who resided for some 
time at Motumotu. He objected to many of the words spelt 
with d and thought r should be substituted, such as glare for 
siade, da.fov ra, &c, but as I have had no opportunity up to the 
time of going to press of deciding, I have left the words as the 
deceased teacher wrote them, merely pointing out the probability 
that in some cases r might be substituted for d and vice versa.
