Soup

[Trechter, Sara]

'wozhapi' Lakhota for berry soup made with corn starch or flour nowadays.
I'm also told that it is used pejoratively to refer to 'inbreeding' (cousin
marrying) among white people. sara t. (the 'zh' is a alveopalatal fricative)

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.
