Ina and chena also means here and there, respectively. The dual form albei reappears in the Yak-kumban dialect of the River Darling where allewa = we two. Arri = us, is also the first syllable in the Western Australian form ar-lingul = we; or, rather it is ar-lingul in a simpler and less compounded form. In a short specimen of Mr.

I don't know how much he has in reality, but he has his pay from the government he is on the retired list and he owns considerable property. He has enough and to spare, there is no doubt about that."
