Paul's obviously right.  However, the several Algonquian loans into Siouan
that have been spotted so far (mostly by John Koontz), like 'bow', seem to
show that Siouan speakers grabbed the first two Algonquian syllables and
the rest of the (huge, long) word went out the window.  So, in fact, we
can all be right.
