Thank you, Rory. I have Dorsey's slip files on film, as well as vocabulary
from Frieda Hahn and others (not to mention my own files).  I am curious to
see what the most commonly used verbs are exactly, not only for inclusion in
a teaching grammar, but also for consideration in anthropological/linguistic
sense. I think it would be interesting to note.

Is any one aware of such a study being conducted?

Regarding the teaching grammar, the most frequently used verbs would be
obvious candidates to include in the work. I'm certainly a newbie to this
and I'm wondering if there are any guidelines/recommendations (for which
verbs to include) from teachers involved with teaching Indigenous
languages - or if anyone, in fact, has listed the most frequently used verbs
in OP.
