Soup

[Bruce Ingham]

In Cree the apoy morph comes in a lot of words for edible liquids like 'milk',
'coffee' and 'soup', but I haven't got the other examples to hand at
the moment.

Can't say, but I can give you the Nakota for 'soup' haNbi.  I think there's
another word for a thick soup, or stew, but I can neither rememeber nor find
it right now.  Hohpe reminds me of hoxpa 'cough', but that's almost
certainly coincidence.

The Cree word for soup (if I recall correctly) is anapapoy.  Ojibwe for
'soup' is naboob.  Those are the only Algonquian languages I have a sniff
about.

I've been not much help, I'm afraid.
