Assuming this might come from the Siouan Archives version of the texts, my
first impulse is to check to see if the second dhaN (<cent sign> a
<raised-n> in the original) might be a mistyped or even misprinted s^aN (c
a <raised n> in the original). Most such errors are typing errors in
preparing the SA, but I have seen a few in the original, too.
There is, however, a distributive -dhaNdhaN suffix or enclitic!
