NomenclatureIn the Githabul language, word Githabul means "those who say githa", githa means "That's right" and is a common exonym and endonym for the people and their language. Githabul specifically refers to the language as spoken around Woodenbong, while the southern variety spoken near Drake was known as Dingabal which means "those who say dinga", with dinga meaning "That's right". The eastern variety spoken near Kyogle on the Richmond river used the term Galibal which meant "those who say gali", gali means "this" and contrasts with Githabul and Dinggabal which used gale.[2] GrammarVerb MorphologyVerbs are conjugated with the use of suffixes, it is an Aspect dominant language, as opposed to Tense dominant like English. Githabul suffixes mostly conjugate for aspect and mood. SuffixesVerb suffixes are placed in 6 orders, a verb may not take more than one suffix from an order, and similar to nouns, suffixes are attached in a set order. Combinations of these suffixes express all possible conjugations of Githabul verbs, with only a small numner of combinations possible, Githabul verb stems are commonly 2 syllables in length and always end in a vowel.[3]
Adjective MorphologyAdjectives can be marked with a suffix to indicate the gender of the noun they qualify. Githabul has one of the most extensive gender system of all the Bandjalangic languages.[4] Suffixes
DemonstrativesGithabul possesses a complicated set of demonstratives that make a three-way distinction, with proximal, medial, and distal sets, there is a further distinguishing of demonstrative adjectives and location demonstratives. The adjective set can be additionally suffixed to create demonstrative pronouns, the adjective set has three forms for "things in sight", "things hidden or not in sight" and "things not there anymore", while the location set has forms to indicate the general area and definite area, whether in sight or not in sight, and past and present forms.[5] Adjective set
The above set can be suffixed with order 7 noun suffixes to form demonstrative pronouns that function like ordinary independent nouns. e.g. Yanindeh galeni wangahbaya! 'Take this with you! The 'not in sight' and 'not here anymore' forms can take the order 2 noun suffix -gan to form time words. E.g gunahgan 'recently'. Location set
