<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4>I believe, Bob, this may be Dorsey's
transcription. Weather it is a K ~ Ch ~ Sh sound - the duplication would
be unusual. I would anticipated for "standing" = jida, nayin, dahe.
Possibly, the sound is a "j" and it would be more logical if instead of a "co"
it was a "jeje." There is a verb: rujijire (walk to and from).
Perhaps it is meant to be: jije. Then, it would have more of the context
of Arrive Standing with Something, which is not specific to a society
staff. What do you think? </FONT></DIV>

name isn't familiar to me. Do you know how the letter "c" is supposed to

<DIV><FONT color=#1f497d size=4>On the 1891 OM census. the
name “Wa-to-co-co” meaning something along lines of “Standing with
Staff” or “Standing with Dancing Staff.” Among those of you who have
worked with the names of Hochank, Kaws, Osage, Ponca/ Omaha, Quapaw, have
anyone found a similar name that refers to holding a staff that represents some
society? It is not apparent in the name as documented here.
