In response to John's comment on the form of the verb 'come' in PS, to the
extent it is relevant, the corresponding stem for 'arrive, come' in Catawba
is -uu?-, not -huu?- as sometimes listed elsewhere (e.g., Siebert 1945, which
contains a number of underanalyzed forms). The conjugation is: c^uu?- 'I
come', yuu?- 'you come', huu?- 'he comes' (where h- is the 3rd singular
marker), etc.
