Not unlike Clive, I also highly appreciate the great ability and  
penmanship of Emil Afraid of Hawk since quite some time (although  I  
could claim by no means to being able to really judge this  
personality's great work!).
Searching through his translation of "Brave Against the Enemy" for  
further examples of the Dakotan concept of "feeling" I came across the  
following reference (quoted in the PDF-file attached below) where,  
again, the expression "kiksuyA" can be found, albeit with a slightly  
different "hue".

As it seems to me, our initial topic, by chance split up in two  
threads, might be rooted in the same "soil".
I'd appreciate to learn your experts' view?
