I think I discussed the relationship among the terms for 'sacred', 'god', 'medicine' and 'snake' in that paper I coauthored with Giulia Oliverio in the Frank Siebert Festschrift.

Scott,
Not sure how much help this is, but Biloxi medicine is 'tixi' which I assume to be related to your Tutelo te:si:, although in Biloxi yo is body (or meat), not tixi. Phi in Biloxi is also 'good', but I don't recall seeing that used with tixi in the Biloxi data. I actually wondered if the -xi ending of tixi was actually the word for 'mysterious' or 'sacred.'

I can not seem to find a word for medicine in Saponi so wanted to get your opinion about this follow set for the word.
ya- = progressive aspect
pi: = good
te:si: = body
Together it is ya-te:si:pi
or it could be ya-te:si:ipi:
Is this correct?
