Hello, I was trying to find the word or words for loss, lose and lost in Tutelo-Saponi. 
What would comparative words be in other Dhegiha languages and what would be the literal translation of those words? I'm hoping to be able to extrapolate the word for loss or lost through comparison unless there is a word that is used for loss in Tutelo-Saponi.
 
I was thinking perhaps "iha:o ki-hiye-nE".
Literally, "no balance". 
lE= go, no= yaha or iha:o, and way = hatkox (path)
lE:yaha:hatkox or lE:yahatkox-se
Could these words figure into gone away (lost, lose)...
