<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">It is not unlikely that this was influenced by "mirrorglass". But it has a good Lakota etymology (see the New Lakota Dictionary), so this is NOT a loan from English. (Coincidences
happen. My favorite is [elkar] which means 'each other' in Dutch and in Basque.)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">Good question! This reminds me of my favorite "Siouanist turned Athabascanist" pet peeve. Sapir famously said that there is something about Athabascan languages
that prevents them from borrowing from other languages.<br>
<br>
This never convinced me, since Siouan languages borrow very little from other languages as well, and structurally they are less complex than Athabascan. The only loanword I can think of in traditional Lakota is bebela, from French bebe.<br>
<br>
Of course I am sure that in modern Lakota, when everyone is bilingual if not dominant in English, there is a lot of English... But that is true of modern Navajo as well.<br>
