butterfly

[Randolph Graczyk]

Some items from the Crow dictionary:

bachee' 'man'
xusshi' 'fast'
bacheexusshi' 'handsome man'
bacheexusshi' raccoon'

What is interesting is the connection of 'raccoon' and 'man' in several
different Siouan languages.  Is this a matter of (partial) loan translations?
