Let's see here, delete, delete, oh, yes, just like on other discussion
lists, until I get just the part of Rudy's message I'm responding to   :-)
And, um, delete, the trailer at the end of the message also. No need to
advertise Yahoo twice.

Yes, it's a very typical Algonquian language, although it doesn't sound like
it due to many phonological changes, quite a few similar to ones which
Arapaho went through.
