Hi all,<br><br>It seems Tutelo's verb 'go' takes a patientive/object rather than active/subject pronoun prefix, wi- instead of wa-. Does any other Siouan language do this? (I can't compare with Biloxi since it lost this agent/patient distinction in pronouns.) I'm particularly interested in this because two Lower Mississippi Valley languages, Atakapa and Chitimacha, also seem to take patientive/object instead of active/subject pronouns with the verb 'go.' At first I thought this was strange and counterintuitive, but now I'm seeing it may be a more common phenomenon well beyond the Mississippi Valley. Any thoughts?<br>
