Cf. ‘thunder (1)’. tahu shows rightward vowel exchange. From PSi t we would expect Crow š/__u; however, Crow s is regular for pre-Crow t /__a. This suggests a series of developments like the following: *tahu > *sahu > *sau > *suu. -uu is the stem vowel in Crow; -uua is the citation form -- with added -a (?). The implications are that rightward vowel exchange occured in Proto-Crow-Hidatsa (not just in Hidatsa) and its product was reduced in Crow. Cf. ‘visible’.
