ˈŋalgo?baɲ
Take care with the glottal stop (written 'h' in Bininj Kunwok) and the final palatal nasal sound written 'nj'.

ngal- the female noun class prefix. It would be al-kohbanj in Kundjeyhmi.
-kohbanj 'elderly person'

In June of 2012 we posted the male version na-kohbanj 'an old man'. What is very interesting is the plural of these words. When talking about 'the old people' or 'a group of old people [male/female/mixed gender]' there is extensive variation across the dialect chain in the plural form of the word. In the plural you drop the noun class prefixes na- or ngal- and the reduplication of -kohbanj can be realised as any of the following:

kobahkobanj, kobokohbanj, kobohkobanj, kobohbanj, kohbahkohbanj, kobakohbanj

Bolkwarramal wanjh kumekke arri-bunjyikani, ngal-kohbanj ngalengarre nga-korlonjhmi dja ngal-Warramal.

We carried bamboo spears through Warramal country, and that old lady it was her country, I [being male] called her my daughter, she was a member of the Warramal clan.

An-dulkkohbanj. (Kundjeyhmi)
An old tree.
