Osage otaN is 'military honors'.  Also look up taNhe' in LaFlesche.
DoN-he' in the old spelling.  It describes the virtues necessary in a
man in order to qualify as taNhe (where -he) is one of the verbs of
being, presumably the same one we get in thaN-he 'standing animate',
miNk-he 'sitting animate', k-he 'lying', etc.).

In modern Kaw daNhe is found in the various forms of "How are you
doing?"  If the answer is 'OK' or 'well', it would be daNhe.
