I shall now add a vocabulary of the language, which I procured from Mr. Collins and Governor Phillip; both of whom had been very assiduous in procuring words to compose it; and as all the doubtful words are here rejected, it may be depended upon to be correct*.
[* This Vocabulary was much enlarged by Captain Hunter.]

[ It should be observed, that in speaking, Wolle-warre
frequently changes the position of his words, as in
Bado-burra:
so when walking one night from Prospect-Hill to Rose-Hill,
we
frequently stumbled against the roots, and he exclaimed
“Were Wade, and Wade Were,”
bad wood, or bad roots.]
