<div>Regina,</div> <div> </div> <div>I have a few comments on the Biloxi section of your paper. Hope it helps. I was looking through the Dorsey-Swanton dictionary and found a few things:</div> <div> </div> <div>There are two comitative 'with' forms:</div> <div> </div> <div>1) 'iya', which appears to be a verb meaning "to be with" (ex. aNkiya (nkiya) 'I'm with him.')</div> <div>2) 'noNpa', actually the number 'two,' which appears to be used in the sense of 'with' somebody, as in inoNpa/enoNpa, 'with him/her' ("two with him/her").</div> <div> </div> <div>The instrumental 'with' oN(ha) comes from the verb 'oN', 'to do/make/use', apparently cognate with Lakota 'uN.'</div> <div> </div> <div>The 'saNhiN' of your 'beyond' forms means 'the other side.'</div> <div> </div> <div>If you have the dictionary, I can give you the exact page numbers to find this data if that helps.</div> <div> </div>
