With apologies, archaic A2 sing. was actually  s^ku.

For Carolyn Quintero:
To memorize the 14 Dakotan locomotive verbs I used
a following figure:
       THERE
       -----
  glic^u'    i'
    V        ^
   ku'      yA'
    V        ^
   gli'    iya'yA
       HOME        ---> hiya'yA
       ----        <--- gliglA'
   hiyu'    khi
    V        ^
    u'      glA
    V        ^
   hi'     khiglA
       HERE
       ----
Where HOME is (as in Taylor's article) 'home or
previous location'; hiyayA and gliglA - verbs of
movement past the speaker; each direction (here/there,
home/not home) has three verbs of
start/process/arrival
(e.g. iyayA-yA-i).
You should use a proportional font to view the figure
properly (like Courier)
