Headword line. What does the vertical bar mean? It looks like a paper dictionary shorthand that shouldn't be used in Wiktionary. —CodeCat 19:51, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Fixed. There are several verb types, similar to Spanish -ar, -er, -ir, and that vertical mark was meant to emphasize the suffix. Gamilaraay verbs have the endings -li, -y, -gi, -rri. They mark the future tense, which is the citation form in Gamilaraay. Verbs in -li form the imperative with -la(bumali = will hit, bumala = hit!). I removed the vertical bar. —Stephen (Talk) 20:55, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
