Ma Da/Dh IO Wi Tu Of Bi

12 riNt *pi wi wi -- daha/tu
2 riNt *pi wi wi pu daha/tu

This is a quick summary and may be erronious in some points. It is
probably incomplete (in Of, at least) and I will not attempt to describe
the principles or syntax of combinations where they can occur. Bi daha is
the object plural, while tu is the subject plural. I suspect that the
medial (e) in Tutelo is epenthetic, as it is often missing. I've obvious
simplified the treatment of Da and Dh. I've omitted Cr and Hi, though I
seem to recall that Hi is something like a?a.
