Question re: Dhegiha and other Siouan quotatives

[Mirzayan, Armik]

Sent that too fast .... A typing error in the last example:

>  You can also use  "čha" with ablézA, as in:
>    Wičhákȟe šni čha awábleze.    "I realized that he was not truthful."

It should be:    Wičákȟe šni čha awábleze.

Jan, I am answering without looking things up, so be prepared for some
mis-remembering.  I seem to recall that "s^i" 'command" requires object
affixes on the embedded verb: 'I told him to help you' would be "onichiye
was^i".  I thought that pattern was pretty common.  What about something
like 'realize' as in 'I realized I was wrong' or 'I realized you were
wrong"?

        Best,
        David
