Thanks to John Koontz for his explanation of nazalization of w in
Hidatsa, and to Bob Rankin for seconding John on resonants, for
suggesting Doug Parks and Wes Jones as resources, and for the suggestion
that I check vowel-length.

In Moulton's vol. 3, the Hidatsa name is transcribed as awaxáawi, so it
appears that vowel-length has been taken into account. (I see from the
preface that Moulton consulted Jones on Hidatsa.)

Thanks again,

Alan Hartley
