I've mentioned these, actually, in the past, and there was some
discussion, if me saying "I wonder what these are?" counts as discussion,
at the two Dhegiha meetings in Lincoln and Anadarko.  At the second
meeting I think I was able to observe that in several cases the reference
was plainly "center stage" or proximate.  I haven't pursued this yet.
