General comment

It is conceivable that in Proto-Siouan-Catawba times there was a relationship between this root and *aRá•- ‘heat/cold, instrumental’, which became the corresponding instrumental prefix. In numerous instances R seems to be from *r in a consonantal or laryngeal environment, hence the Mandan form is of interest in this regard. Cf. ‘cranberry’. The Mandan is a deverbal noun, from a root like -ore-. The ʔ is intrusive in such forms.
