Jimm. That’s pretty much what I was thinking. I believe the original
Siouan sound here was /š/, and some speakers, especially the Otoe-Missouria,
have shifted it forward to something more like /s/. At the same time, the
original Siouan /s/ has also shifted forward in IOM to something like /þ/,
“thorn”, or what we write “th”. So Omaha “s” would correspond to IOM “th”,
and IOM “s” or “sh” would correspond to Omaha “sh”.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style='FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman","serif"; COLOR: #1f497d; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%'>According
to the CSD, we seem to have about four or five different words for ‘black’ in
Siouan, which are all related to each other by a couple of sound
alternations. First, we have alternation in the main vowel between /e/ and
/a/, which gives us two alternative forms of ‘black’:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style='FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman","serif"; COLOR: #1f497d; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%'>Within
MVS, Hochank and IOM chose *sepe as their basic word for ‘black’, while Dakotan
and Dhegiha chose *sape. However, Dhegiha at least preserved *sepe as an
alternate ‘black’ term in rare cases. Bob Rankin found a <I>séwe</I> term
for ‘black’ in Quapaw, and in Omaha the name of one of our speakers is Mi-sebe,
meaning “Dark of the Moon”. She and her sister made it very clear to us
that the <I>sebe</I> part of this is not the ‘black’ word, <I>sábe</I>.
They say that <I>sébe</I> is its own word meaning “shadowy”, and in this case
refers to the part of the moon that is dark when the moon is not full. I
don’t know that I’ve ever run into the term outside of this case in Omaha, so
perhaps it is preserved there mainly because it appears in a
name.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style='FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman","serif"; COLOR: #1f497d; LINE-HEIGHT: 150%'>Second,
these two ‘black’ words were both given alternates via Siouan fricative
ablaut. The initial /s/ could be changed to /š/ to give the idea of an
“off-black”, or “dark”:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Dhegiha, the *šape term means ‘dark (colored)’, and in Dakotan it means ‘dirty’,
both in contrast to *sape, meaning ‘black’. In IOM and Hochank, the *šepe
term means ‘dark’, ‘suntanned’ or ‘brown’ in contrast to *sepe, ‘black’.
So we get a comparative matrix that looks something like
this:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

am in agreement with all said. May I add two things. Dorsey’s “ñ” in his
text is equal to the “ng” as in “sing.” So in lieu of he Ioway “-iñe,” it
would be the Otoe/Missouria “-inge.” Also, IOM does have a cognate to
Omaha “sebe” which is “séwe” (brown). I have never known it to cover the
meaning of “shawdowed,” as Rory says exists in Omaha. </SPAN><SPAN
