kahomni

["Alfred W. Tüting"]

@David: I think the ka- in kahomni is one of these more general uses
'made to
circle, caused to circle'.  That would accord with the speakers' instincts
that it indicates the source of (or maybe the stimulus for) the action.
I'm not familiar with "kahomni", however -- does that explanation make
sense?


Buechel gives it explicitely in the sense of 'striking':

kaho'mni - to make something turn around by striking, as a top; to turn
around, as a wheel by striking; to spin, as a top

This 'picture' is quite 'striking' ;-) (Remember the kids driving a hoop
by striking it!)
