Lakota short sentence? ["mini"-Lakhota course!]

[A.W. Tüting]

Clive,
I share your translation, but shouldn't it be anapsa [ana'psa] not 
[ana'ps^a], although there's a verb with a similar meaning: 
[ana'ps^aps^a] - boil up, come up, as bubbles on the water

What do you think of the change s -> s^ (don't recall how this is 
called...)
