early loans in Dakotan

[Bruce Ingham]

Dear Siouanists
>>From a recent discussion on bows and arrows, I gathered that it
was thought that a number of basic lexemes may be borrowings
into Dakotan from neighbouring languages, Indian or European.  Do
any of you have any good examples.  Ones that I know of include
khunkhunla 'pickle' presumably French 'cocombre', khukhus^e 'pig'
French 'cochon', bebela 'baby' Fr bebe or Engl baby.  Are there any
anyone knows of from Indian languages. ???
