k? in
*s^ik?e 'woman's brother-in-law'
*k?iN 'pack, carry on back'
*k?e 'dig'
*hki?uN 'gamble' (*k?oN in Dhegiha)
*k?u 'give'
*yook?i 'to roast'
*k?a... *k?o... *k?e... in onomatopeics for grating noises
*ak?a 'south or west wind'
The most promising look to be 'dig'. 'roast'. and, of course, 'pack on the
back'. 'Give' might be a dative, but probably not a suus-form.

*?iN 'wear about the shoulders'
*?o 'hit and wound'
*?uN 'do/be'
I think there's a longer list of *?-stems on the list a few years ago.
I also surveyed OP carying verbs a while back this year.
