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

[Clive Bloomfield]

Hello Alfred, Perhaps we have different editions of Buechel-Manhart :  
Mine is the 2002 Ed. , and on Page 20, (mid-page; LH column) has :  
"anapsa /anáps^a/ (va) : to break into a laugh after it has been  
suppressed -- anaps^aps^a (vn redup) : to bubble or boil up, as  
bubbles on foul water when disturbed." I wonder if any of the experts  
here might have any further info. on this verb? Tanyan awanic'iglakin  
kta wachin, toks^a akhe, Clive.   P.S. : I wish someone would do a  
Ph.D. level study of the Lakhota style of Emil Afraid-Of-Hawk's  
Lakhota novella : "S^unka Wan Wakhan Agli K'un He" [The Bringer of  
the Mystery Dog]. The sheer beauty & graceful sweep of his  
"cinematic" sentences continues to amaze & delight me. As a  
translator, IMVHO, he leaves Anne Nolan Clark's charming but slight  
children's tale far behind him, and creates an original work of art!
