Question re: Omaha-Ponca

[David Kaufman]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how the article ðą is actually used in
OP.  According to the Omaha texts, it seems to be used often after body
parts, but I notice it is also used for other non-body part nouns as well,
which JOD sometimes glosses as 'object'.  I'm particularly curious because
Biloxi sometimes uses the suffix -yą (which would correlate with ðą) after some
body part terms as well. I don't see anything similar being used in Kaw or
Osage, unless I'm missing something .

Thanks.

Dave
