Oliverio (p. 269) has pi:lahuk, as one word.

Ø  As for the several "pi" words, they may not all be the same.  For example, 'good' is aspirated in the other Siouan languages, so it is almost certainly aspirated in Tutelo also.  That means it should be written phonemically /phi:/, whereas some of the other "pi" words may have the unaspirated /p/ that varies with [b] in some of the less fluent speakers from a century ago.  For example, the 'desiderative mode' marker is almost certainly unaspirated and pronounced [pi] or [bi], depending on the speaker.  


Question here.  How does the unaspirated vs. aspirated distinction in Southeastern square with the unaspirated vs. pre-aspirated vs. post-aspirated trichotomy that I thought was established for MVS?  I had understood from long ago that pre-aspiration (e.g. ʰt-) had shifted forward to merge with post-aspiration (e.g. tʰ-) in Dakotan, had stayed the same in Osage, and had changed to tense (e.g. tt) in Omaha, Ponka and Kaw.  Was there not this three-way distinction in Proto-Siouan and Southeastern?
 
Thanks,
