Autonym of Mosopeleas-Ouesperies-Ofos

[Rankin, Robert L]

We do.  Tutelo had a -k article that is attested in the transcriptions made by Edward Sapir circa 1910.  So that's a possibility.  Biloxi has a -k nominal suffix that Dave Kaufman and I argue about but can't yet identify.  It may or may not be a variant of BI. /kaN/.  I can't recall any such article from Ofo, but there's so little to go on.

That's an idea.  It seems to be a direct object marker in Biloxi.
Do we have any "article" information on Tutelo or Ofo?

Musogran ???
