Lakota short sentence? ["mini"-Lakhota course!]

[A.W. Tüting]

Hello Clive,

I checked my paper copy of Buechel-Manhart (2002) and it's like quoted 
by you. There seems to be a typo in the source I'd looked it up first.

I'd support your 'wish' regarding Sunka wan wakan agli k'un he. Never 
encountered such a 'European- style' Lakota text written by a native 
speaker. Great!

T.a.
