Win a few, lose a few.  That's the sport of it.  Animal/bird names are good
places to look for borrowings though.

as /t/, and that's extremely unlikely for languages like Muskogean and Siouan,
both of which had /c/ phonemes they could have substituted but didn't.--  I did
have a problem with the lack of affricate in Siouan and Koasati.  Close but no
cigar, I guess!  (But fun trying nonetheless!)
