<DIV><BR></DIV><TT><FONT size=2>Hi all,</FONT></TT> <BR><BR><TT><FONT
size=2>I've been looking at the Omaha term ttappuska, presently meaning
'school', but apparently meaning 'schoolteacher' in the 19th century. It
also appears in Osage, in both the La Flesche dictionary and in Carolyn
Quintero's recent "Osage Dictionary", where it is listed as taapo'ska. I
think is nicely analyzable in Dhegiha, but Carolyn's entry has the bracketted
note:</FONT></TT> <BR><BR><TT><FONT size=2> [Borrowed from Pawnee
<I>taapuska</I> 'school' (Douglas Parks).</FONT></TT> <BR><TT><FONT
size=2> The Pawnee word may have entered Osage at different
times</FONT></TT> <BR><TT><FONT size=2> in different forms, with or
without preaspiration of the</FONT></TT> <BR><TT><FONT size=2> stops
<I>(h)t</I> and <I>(h)p</I> and with a long or short vowel <I>aa</I></FONT></TT>
<BR><TT><FONT size=2> or <I>a</I>; it is losing or has lost the
preaspiration in </FONT></TT><BR><TT><FONT size=2> <I>(h)t</I> and
<I>(h)p</I>.]</FONT></TT> <BR><BR><TT><FONT size=2>This claims that the term is
actually a loan from Pawnee. I'm wondering if Douglas Parks is on the
list, or if anyone knows how to get in touch with him, or if anyone else on the
list knows Pawnee well enough to comment? Is the word analyzable in
Pawnee, and if so, what is the meaning?</FONT></TT> <BR><BR><TT><FONT
size=2>Also, I'd like to know how widespread the term is. Does it exist in
Kaw? Iowa-Oto? Ponka? Any other language?</FONT></TT>
<BR><BR><TT><FONT size=2>Thanks for any advice!</FONT></TT> <BR><BR><TT><FONT
