Based on cognates for dung, little/young, to sing, to sleep, and to stab, add
zh > y to Chiwere (Ch) in Table IV, p. 11  under  Proto-Siouan *y.  Thus, "r"
splits into two phonemes "r, zh > y."

The Degihans have pointed out my erroneous use of ch and dh in Osage.  Remove
the v over c and j  for Osage.  Please let me know if my Osage orthography
needs other modifications.

Thanks for your inputs, your comments are much appreciated.
