In contexts in which the sex of a given crocodile is important or where personification is appropriate it is possible to use human MSg and other sex/number specified forms: MSg (na-)lharragu`a-yung 45.6.4; or just HumSg -yung can be added with Ngarra class prefix retained (even for MSg crocodile referent) 45.9.1. (Text 45 shows fluctuation between these and nonhuman forms.) Young: lhuurj.
