<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can vaguely imagine the "Box ka re sha" part
being ppah(i) ska dheze, 'white hair, tongue...,' and can even imagine "hash
ta ka" containing the word ha, 'skin,' possibly in reference to skin
color. I just can't place the remaining
shtege/shteke/xtege/xteke part, and don't see anything like unto a Kaw word
for 'curly.' But that CteCe bit does look kinda Siouan,
no?</FONT></DIV>

size=2>Mark</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am working on some stuff on
Julius Meyer, the German Jew in Omaha who claimed to speak six languages and
opened the Indian goods store on Farnam Street. </FONT>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>He claimed to have been given and Indian name,
which he spelled Box ka re sha hash ta ka, which he translated as “Curly
haired white man with one tongue.” I have two accounts, one that he got
it from the Pawnee and one that he got if from the Ponca. I asked James
Riding In if that name made sense to him: he thought it more likely that
it was “Curly haired white dude who that a buffalo robe was worth a carton of
Marlboros.” It does look like one of those Pawnee jawbreakers but I
thought I would just shoot it across your bow for an opinion. </FONT>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thoughts?</FONT>
