Comment: 
SEQUENCE OF ADJECTIVES, and SYNTAX ’  It should be observed that, in speaking, Wolle-warr 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 "Wr Wad, and Wad Wr," bad wood, or bad roots.’ [Footnote in King in Hunter: 398:23.2]
