Hawk.

[Randolph Graczyk]

I've found two stems meaning 'hawk' in Crow, one of which has two variants:

c^ilaxc^i' 'hawk' (my data)
c^ilaxta' 'hawk' (Dictionary of Everyday Crow)
issaxc^i' 'sparrow hawk, falcon'

It seems to me that c^il- could easily be derived from kye-, but I don't know
about the rest of it.  Maybe the xc^ cluster was simplified in the rest of
Siouan.
