<P class=MsoNormal>I’m trying to figure out the breakdown of the Otoe-Missouria
term for “gun” (iyujį). My first instinct was to go with
this:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>i- (instrumental prefix and/or “with”) + ujį
(hit/strike)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>And in there, the “y” would occur for the sake of euphony
thus making “iyujį” (strike/hit with).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Then I saw Dorsey’s entry with his term “i-yu-́ciⁿ” where he
says:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><I>“Were it not for the W. eq., we would be inclined to
derive this word from uciⁿ, to hit, with the instrumental prefix, i-, changed
making the compound i-uciⁿ, changed for euphony to iyu-ci; but the W. izhu-
shows that the “y” in iyu- is radical.”<o:p></o:p></I></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Dorsey covered what my exact thoughts were but said no
because of the Hocąnk cognate and that it is “radical.” I haven’t been
able to find the Hocąk term anywhere and have no idea what he meant by
“radical.” Anyone have any ideas? I haven’t had any luck with any
related cognates that I could find.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Here are some spellings of this term I’ve come across that
may help.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>jútschä</B> (Maximilian)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>His forms don’t have the initial “i-“ but just jump right
into the “y” sound. He also ends with “ä” (eh/ay sound) but clearly goes
with “į” with his term “strike” (uh-tschin).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>E-yock-a</B> (Major Albert Green)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Linguistic precision definitely isn’t Green’s strong point
but his “ck” has me curious.<o:p></o:p></P>
