So it's doubly inflected, once on each stem, regular on guN, and r-stem
(without pleonastic regular) on the second.  Like Dhegiha, except for the
guN stem being regular.  Different from Winnebago, except that Winnebago
also has guN regular. You could argue that -ra was lost or hasn't been
added.  Except for that roo= (hiro-) Winnebago is like Dakotan, too.  Kind
of an unusual isogloss, though hard to definitively read into PMV.
