["Alfred W. Tüting"]

Both forms are found for 'Sitting Bull"

Tatanka Iyotake [txataN'ka i'yotake] or Tatanka Iyotanka [txataN'ka
i'yotaNka] - and also: ~ yotanka etc.

Buechel gives _i'yotakA_ (to sit down) different from _yaNkA_ (to sit/be
sitting). So the famous chief's name obviously describes a buffalo in
the movement of sitting down (with the forelegs still standing on the
ground).
