Explanation:
Hercus states that 'the General Oblique Case is very widely use. Its basic meaning is that of 'movement towards'. Normal suffix is 'a' after consonants and 'ga' or 'ka' after vowels - 'kurnwila'. The sentence starts with the transferring adverb 'mamba' (perhaps). The verb person ending 'ar' or 'arr' has been transferred from the verb to this adverb to give 'mambarr' (perhaps you).

Learning Exercise:
The age old protective warning from adults to children might be 'You might ........'  See how many you can write in Wamba Wamba starting with 'mambarr'. eg 'you might fall in the river'. (hint - river will need the ending for 'location right in'. You can find it in the 'Bound Forms' resource at top of page 2).
