That billy can’s no good.

\ncos
\os In Osborne's (1966) data,”nani appears in three sentences as the modifier "that".
\ncos The adverb nani (“like this, like that”) does not seem to fit particularly well into the present item in Flint’s data. Analysing nani as a demonstrative pronoun or as a nominalising suffix is a more attractive option (see "comments on gloss" field below).
\na barki nani
\ncna
\ng bad (fellow) that one
\ncng It is difficult to determine the exact meaning of nani:
It may be functioning as the demonstrative pronoun “that one” (translated "he") in a verbless topic-comment clause (i.e. “He's a bad fellow”). This use of nani is not attested in Osborne’s (1966) data, where nani ("that") modifies a head noun in the three examples in which it appears. Similarly, "nana ("that") also seems to function as a modifier in singular sentences. It may be worth noting that there is some freedom in the use of another demonstrative pronoun, nanama(n), in Osborne's data: nanama(n) occurs both as the head of noun phrases and as a modifier of head nouns. Perhaps this flexibility is also a feature of nani.
Alternatively, nani may be functioning as a nominalising suffix, with a meaning like “-one” (yielding “bad one”, “good one” etc.). This option is attractive because it fits well with Flint’s elicitation on the recording: “bad; bad fellow; bad man”.
Without more data, it is difficult to determine the function of nani here.
