Did you mean 'thoroughly'??  Little typing problem there.  :-)

The tcin/itci word there is also the term for 'fat'.  tutelo should be nearly the same:  Ichiⁿ or chiⁿ.

I'm looking for the word for “thoughly” which I think may be pi-api-ipi.
I'm also looking for the words “annointed” and “oil”.
So far I’m thinking masa-pa for “annointed” . The word for grease in Ofo is itchi and in Biloxi it is tcin. I'm thinking that the word would be tche in Saponi or something like this. Any ideas?
