"WOUND"

[goodtracks at peoplepc.com]

Some time ago, the list was addressing the conjugation of the verb "?o'" (?ó) [wound]  which occurs in many Siouan Languages.
While looking for something else, in "A Dictionary of Everyday Crow", Crow Agency Bilingual Education Program. 1987 (revised), I came upon:  

1.  uua' (v tr) /uu/ shoot   -- on p.20.  No conjugations were provided. (See Below)
2.  oo'xpe (v tr) /i/ shoot, wound  -- p.x; 20:
He...   oo'xpik;   They...  oo'xpuuk
I...      boo'xpik;  We...   boo'xpuuk
you...  doo'xpik;  You (pl)   doo'xpuuk
Shoot!  oo'xpih;   Shoot! (pl)    oo'xpaalah

Then
In "Crow word list", Lowie. 1960.  p.170:
u':  (u)  to shoot, wound, hit

ma u' om        they shot some (game)

akbareacu'packyo hawa'tem ba wu'k   
one of the Cheyenne headcutters) I shot

u'ak arapapa'ce de'sa ka'te tseruk
when they hit him, the bullet did not go in


I also note that Hidatsa "Wordlist", Jones. Preliminary Version, 1979:  
1.  Shoot    u?u-axbi; ni?i
2.  Shoot & hit    ú?u
3,  Shoot at  írigi; ni
(No conjugations offered)

Now then...
Does any of the above shed any new light on arriving at likely conjugations for the verb  -  ?o' (?ó).  Could this be a word that conjugates similar to the IOM:
?uN'  (?ún = to do, make; act as/ in manner of), namely:
I...   ha?uN';  you...   ra?uN';  we...  hin?uN'wi;  etc.

Just wondering and not giving up yet.
