Dhegiha 'thousand'

[David Costa]

Miami does this too: note mihtekolaakani "wooden box, trunk, thousand
(dollars)".

> 
> In Kaw it is /z^aN:-kkoge/, accent on the 1st syllable.  Silver dollars were
> transported in crates of 1000 each.  OP should be the same except that /o/
> raises to [u].  z^aN: is 'wood', kko'ge is 'box' (something hollow).
