It occurs to me that in the context of Siouan grammars one might also need
to consider not just verb stems, but certain kinds of derivation.   For
example, some of the instrumentals are very frequent and essentially
productive.  Because of their frequency and productivity they are
functionally (and practically) equivalent to some kinds of frequent verb
in, say, English.
