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

No, actually that's right on the money. Mandan has something like /huNp-/,
so the Nakota fits in with both it and the Crow. This still doesn't mean
they're cognates rather than borrowings though, since all the languages that
have the word are in the NW of Siouan territory. I suspect Randy's right and
that the word was borrowed in one direction or the other.
