We were speculating on the meaning of the -zipA component of the Dakota
'bow' word a while back.  I think we noticed zi'pe=la 'thin, fine'.

How about this, though?  OP mu[u]'=zibe 'to shoot', Dorsey 90:189.9.  Mu=
is, of course, the shooting instrumental.  This stem occurs exactly once
in the texts.
