Scott,<br><br>Not sure how much help this is, but Biloxi medicine is 'tixi' which I assume to be related to your Tutelo te:si:, although in Biloxi yo is body (or meat), not tixi. Phi in Biloxi is also 'good', but I don't recall seeing that used with tixi in the Biloxi data. I actually wondered if the -xi ending of tixi was actually the word for 'mysterious' or 'sacred.'<br>

<div>I can not seem to find a word for medicine in Saponi so wanted to get your opinion about this follow set for the word.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>ya- = progressive aspect</div>
<div>pi: = good</div>
<div>te:si: = body</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Together it is ya-te:si:pi</div>
<div>or it could be ya-te:si:ipi:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is this correct?</div>
