Cf. Hidatsa apáariʔ ‘porcupine’ Crow apáiri(a) ‘porcupine’ Mandan páhį ‘porcupine’ Dakota pahiŋ ‘porcupine’ Osage p̣á-hiⁿ ‘porcupine’ for another instance of MRS r corresponding to h elsewhere. Since ‘goose’ is attested in only two subgroups and they differ on the status of what appears to be a root extension the second syllable is not reconstructible with certainty. Cf. ‘duck, waterfowl’.
