Caddoan (Pawnee) ree-

Hi all,

I have a question for the Caddoan experts on our list: I notice that the
Pawnee dictionary contains many words beginning with ree-, including the
word for 'corn' reeksu.  I'm wondering if this corn ree- is part of the
root or is/was it a type of prefix?  Can anyone enlighten me on the
possible origin of the word and/or its component parts, if it can be
dissected?

Thanks!

Dave
