Jimm's segmentation tells us why IO has /u-/
instead of /o/.  Proto-Siouan *o > u in IO in
word-initial position.  So at least the V
correspondences are regular, and they also
demonstrates that his analysis is correct.
Initial position is the only place Omaha and IO
/u/ should correspond.

The Kaw form for 'Indian perfume' is ppezhe blaN
yaali, where yaali is 'good', so we wouldn't
expect the reflex of phi there.  I can't identify
the Omaha nu- either.  There doesn't seem to be a
Kaw analog.   Bob
