I should add that doubling with *r-stem (Kansa y- or OP dh-stems) is
somewhat unusual in DHegiha (or, anyway, Omaha-Ponca), but I think it
occurs wholesale in recent Ioway-Otoe, where I gather that regular +
r-stem is the rule for the r-stem paradigms, though that wasn't the case
in somewhat older materials.
