Reduplication occurs pretty much throughout Siouan, but details of form
and use differ from language to language.  For an early survey in passing
for Mississippi Valley, see Boas & Swanton's article on Dakota with notes
on Omaha-Ponca and Winnebago in the old BAE Handbook of North American
Indian Languages.

The standard Dakota treatment of C-final stems is uniquely Dakotan.

I've seen or heard Pat Shaw, I think, discuss an additional pattern in
Stoney or Assiniboine, but I'm not sure at this point what the reference
would be, though, obviously, checking a list of her articles would be a
reasonable thing to do.  (Unfortunately, Pat Shaw is not on this list.)
