Loans Back and Forth: 'bow'

[David Costa]

What about Biloxi and Tutelo?

>> I may have missed something here. Is "bow" reconstructible for Proto-Siouan?

> No.  The terms in Mississippi Valley Siouan are ALL borrowed from Algonquian
> either directly or indirectly.  Chiwere/Winnebago look like Menomini, Dhegiha
> looks like Illinois.  So the term isn't even reconstructible to MVS as
> different versions were borrowed in each of the major subgroups.  Tutelo also
> borrows the term (translated 'gun' in lists).  The Ofo term, $leka, is
> unidentifiable.  I don't know about Crow, Hidatsa or Mandan.
