Dakotan T-words and there equivalents in Siouan

[David Kaufman]

Biloxi is far from being adequately analyzed, but here are the basic equivalents I have for some of those (note that c = ch as in church):
   
  > taku 'what, something" > kawa, kawak
   
  > tuwe/a 'who, someone' > kawa (but note tupeta, whose)

  > tukte 'which' > cidike

  > tuktel 'where, somewhere' > cak, cakaN, cuwa

> tona 'how many, some' > cinani
   
  > tokhel 'how, somehow' > kawakehi ("in what manner")

  Hope this helps.
