<DIV><FONT color=#800080>Some time ago, the list was addressing the conjugation
of the verb "?o'" (?ó) [wound] which occurs in many Siouan
Languages.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>While looking for something else, in "A Dictionary of
Everyday Crow", Crow Agency Bilingual Education Program. 1987 (revised), I came
upon: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>1. uua' (v tr) /uu/ shoot -- on
p.20. No conjugations were provided. (See Below)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>2. oo'xpe (v tr) /i/ shoot, wound -- p.x;
20:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>He... </FONT> <FONT
color=#800080>oo'xpik; They... oo'xpuuk</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
color=#800080>I... boo'xpik; We...
boo'xpuuk</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>you... doo'xpik; You (pl)
doo'xpuuk</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>Shoot! oo'xpih; Shoot!
(pl) oo'xpaalah</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>Then</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>In "Crow word list", Lowie. 1960.
p.170:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>u': (u) to shoot, wound, hit</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>ma u' om they shot
some (game)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#800080>one of the Cheyenne headcutters) I
shot</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>u'ak arapapa'ce de'sa ka'te tseruk</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>when they hit him, the bullet did not go
in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>I also note that Hidatsa "Wordlist", Jones. Preliminary
Version, 1979: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>1. Shoot u?u-axbi;
ni?i</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>2. Shoot & hit
ú?u</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>3, Shoot at írigi; ni</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>(No conjugations offered)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>Now then...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>Does any of the above shed any new light on arriving at
likely conjugations for the verb - ?o' (?ó). Could this be a
word that conjugates similar to the IOM:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>?uN' (?ún = to do, make; act as/ in manner of),
namely:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>I... ha?uN'; you...
ra?uN'; we... hin?uN'wi; etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800080>Just wondering and not giving up yet.</FONT></DIV>
