In Nasatir or Houck (both unfortunately packed away) there is also a
reference to the Omaha name Waz^iNga Sabe 'Blackbird' (literally 'black
bird', but referring to the raven), spelled Wajinga Saby, at about the
same date, in connection with a treaty with the Spanish authorities.  I
think the gloss is pajaro negro.  I hadn't noticed the Osage and Kansa
names.
