so I think those two pairs should probably be cognate. Bob might be better able to comment on this.<br>

<font size="4">No need. You're absolutely right. The <font size="4">"true aspirates" in Omaha should generally have voiced counterparts in Hoc<font size="4">hunk. There may be interesting exceptions. I'<font size="4">d like to check '<font size="4">cow
elk' and 'grizzly'. <font size="4">Hochunk should have voiced stops in cogna<font size="4">tes for
