Any reference terms for frozen hide?

[A.W. Tüting]

Lakota:

hi (arrive here) - u (come, be on the way to arrive here) -> hi(y)u* 
(start there in order to arrive here)

i (arrive there) - yA (go, be on the way to arrive there) -> iyaye** 
(start here, go in order to arrive there)

*the [y] is epenthetic
** the yA is reduplicated

I once found that interesting use of the verb 'hiyu' in that CULP model 
sentence: Hanhepi kin tunkasila TV ogna hiyu (about: tonight the 
President is speaking in television, literally: start there, i.e. in 
the White House, in order to arrive here, i.e. in my home).
