> Can anyone advise a list of the most frequently used verbs in
Omaha-Ponca? Anyone ever looked into this?
I need this for a teaching grammar that is in progress. Does any one have
a list, perhaps from a teaching syllabus? If not, can any one recommend a
reference citation or two?
I could probably come up with a fairly good list off the top of my head for
a start. Or, we've been working on a dictionary project at UNL, pulling
out all the words in the first several stories in Dorsey. I think we have
over four hundred words by now. I could go through that and pull out
anything that I would subjectively consider a common verb. Would that be
useful? And if so, would you want stative verbs as well as active ones?
