Well, if it's Dorsey's transcription he wouldn't have gotten the vowels wrong. I don't recognize the name, but I was wondering of the -coco ending was maybe -shoN-shoN? I don't know if this expression exists in Jiwere or not though, although it is found in
all the Dhegiha dialects.<br>

<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>

The name isn't familiar to me. Do you know how the letter "c" is supposed to be sounded? Is it a K sound? Or does it represent "ch" or maybe the "sh" sound it has in the Smithsonian alphabet??<br>

<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.
