SHTUBA inquiry

[Rankin, Robert L]

I can't find any similar form in either Quapaw or Kansa.  I take it that it's not in the Dorsey files.  Even so, the word, pronounced shtobe by me, somehow rings a bell.  I haven't the faintest idea why, so maybe it's a phantasm of my aging brain.  I certainly don't associate it with 'brother'.

Aloha all,

My elder brother at Macy recently asked if I had heard the term 'shtuba' 
as used by another Omaha relative as the term for 'brother'.

We have been drawing a blank on the word here at UNL.

Does anyone recognize the word?

Thanks,

Mark Awakuni-Swetland
