While I'm on the subject of marriage, while husband is usually a reflex of
*hi(N)kraN, 'to marry (of a man)' is usually *kraN-ka, cf.  Winnebago
kaNkaNk, Ioway-Otoe graNge, Omaha-Ponca egdhaNge 'husband' and Teton
hignaka (apparently also 'husband').  So these forms offer a fairly
widespread example of X :: X-ka.
