Suggestion:  Let's check Chiwere (and poss. Winnebago) for possible
related forms.  I'm out of circulation with a new right hip and away from
many of my sources, so can someone (Jimm?) look up the possible forms of
this stem in Good Tracks' dictionary?  The forms to check would mean
something like 'short' and are:

dapa
dape
tapa
tape
dakwa
dakwe
dagwa
dagwe
takwa, etc.

Anything?

Bob
