Comment:
Variety: Spoken Victoria River, Older Generation. This example illustrates a nominal cleft construction and verbal negation. The form the does not function as a definite article in Kriol but only occurs in equational clauses. Ninarlnguj is a Nungali word. Nangarla is a subsection ("skin") term in use in the Victoria River District.
