I would be perfectly willing to live with a rule of saying "Ponca and 
Omaha" and/or Ponca in the Ponca edition and "Omaha and Ponca" and/or 
"Omaha" in the Omaha edition, as long as the granting agencies will pay 
for two editions.  Or, if they want one edition, we could say "Omaha and 
Ponca, or, as the case may be, Ponca and Omaha" alternating with "Ponca 
and Omaha, or, as the case may be, Omaha and Ponca."  I can insert that 
with what Bob calls a "search and destory" operation keyed on Omaha-Ponca.

On certain occasions, one might want a form like Cegwean, pronounced 
Seg-Way-An.

There are a few places where one has to write Ponka, of course, in citing 
Dorsey.  He used that form, or Cegiha (C = capital cent sign [sic] = edh), 
to refer to Omaha-Ponca.
