In addition to Tutelo and Daktoa, Catawba also shows a deitic kiN (Esaw
dialect), kii (Saraw dialect). In the Catawba system, which is based on proximity,
kiN/kii can be glossed as 'the, this (in the immediate vicinity)'. The
evidence thus seem clear that *kiN must be reconstructed as a deictic element not
only for PS, but for PSC as well.
