mother CORRECTION

Wally's note made me look twice at my posting re Quapaw
'mother'.  The Quapaw form for one's own mother is
normally iNda', not inaN as I had originally written,
although d/n do vary in contact with a nasal vowel in
Quapaw.  So I think Wally's right -- Osage may well be
the better bet.  I have to admit though that I have no
idea what Caddo phonology might do with either of these
Siouan forms.

I've got to stop doing my email at home where I can't
check up on my data. . . .
