LOOKING AT SOMETHING

[goodtracks at peoplepc.com]

In IOM, there is:
wanda,     look at something &
wanwanda,     go look at (see) s.t.
(Words recorded by LWRobinson)

I havent checked the stories for examples of use, but I am uncertain of proper conjugation.  
It seems odd and non-compliant to anticipated compound words.  
The nasal does not seem to belong here.  
"anda"   =  hin- (me) + ada' (see).

Mark has for Omaha =  donbe / danbe

Lafleshe has for Osage (p.38):
  see, perseive, watch, scrutinize:
a'tonbe, ashtonbe, on'gadonba

Also LF has:
Dondonba  (Seen from Time to Time)(name)

Wn/Hochnk seem little help here, as all I found was (Miner):
-look at/ see = horug^uch' ~horug^u'ich ~~horug^ich'

Any thoughts to share here.
