This adverb is based on the oblique form of 'nyunya', the deictic implying general vicinity, 'nyuka ninyam tirndak!' 'bring it over here!' (Editor note: 'the oblique form' is used to show 'happens towards' and will have the marker '(k)a' added to the end. Hercus is saying, 'nyuka' has been formed from 'nyunya' (general vicinity). 'Deitic' means 'word or phrase whose meaning changes depending on how it is used.')
