I think I can just post this, though I interpreted the "For Siouan List"
as applying to the original, and not this follow up.

You may remember that in Carolyn Quintero's Osage the aN+ki- construction
collapsed to aN- (I think) rather than iN-, as in OP.  I think Kaw has the
same, so maybe that's what happened in Quapaw.

Note that neither of us is claiming that we know or recall the Quapaw
dative paradigm, though I believe Bob is correct in regard to Osage, and
Kaw is pretty close to Osage in many respects.
