Rich & Greasy

[Rankin, Robert L]

Wow.  Dorsey has some strange occasional uses of the backwards apostrophe he marks glottalization with, but I can't figure out this one, especially with the similar Omaha form (which looks for all the world like "hand" to me).  I look forward to hearing from our Omahologists.

Bob:
Thewe are from Dorsey f ile slips on IOM.  The slip only had the information
I gave below.  However, Dorsey notes on the slip that (Dh[egiha],  n^aNbe),
which nearly is a dublicate of his IOM entry.
This is one of those times one would like to consult the late Elders.

Dorsey provided a term:  n?aNwe, adj.,  "rich as in greasy food.  wayuwe
n?aNwe ke,  the marrow is rich.

In an 1880 Ioway census, there appears the personal name of a man.  It is
obviously a nick name or an "uncle's name".  The man's name in Baxoje is
"Greasy (Gráhune)"  Gra' huN nye.

Personally, I do not right off see a connection between the two terms.
Jimm

No Siouan language has glottalized n's.  How, exactly, did Dorsey write
this?  Could your glottal just be an accent mark?  What Dorsey source is
this?       Bob

There are no N + glottal in IOM.  I checked in Radin's materials and found
for "greasy".
RADIN = sara, sarak,  dasaraxji.
MINER= taasára(xjiN)   "greasy of kettles"

SWEATLAND = we'gathi (grease); shnishnide the ~ gaxe
What do you suggest in the original IOM word?
Jimm
