Bob and Scott,<br><br>amixkhte(di) would break down, as far as I've analyzed it, as amihi (amix-) 'heat' + k(i)the(di) 'hit', thus 'heat hit' (the /e/ of the should have a circumflex over it, which indicates its pronunciation like Gatschet a-umlaut). k(i), I believe, should be the dative prefix, the 'hit', and -di a type of assertive or emphatic suffix. Gatschet and Dorsey seemed to have written words down as their consultants said them, but it is apparent that, in Biloxi, there was a lot of vowel devoicing or epenthesis going on between consonants, which is why these "strange" Siouan clusters in Biloxi seem to arise.<br>
<br>Hope this helps.<br><br>Dave<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 21, 2012 at 5:36 PM, Rankin, Robert L. <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rankin@ku.edu" target="_blank">rankin@ku.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi Scott,<br>
<br>
I'm going to have to check into that. The consonant cluster -xkt- should not be possible in a Siouan word, so something is amiss here.<br>
<br>
The G. is for the Albert S. <span style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline">
G</span>atschet manuscript of Biloxi vocabulary. I assume the 41 is a page number.<br>
<br>
DS 229 is Dorsey and Swanton's 1912 publication, p. 229.<br>
<br>
The Gatschet recording would be pronounced roughly "hah-miHk-teddy". The a with two dots over it is like "eh".<br>
<br>
I'm not sure we ever got around to a proto-Siouan word for 'sweat', but I'll check it out.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Bob<br>
