Cf. ‘jump’; also cf. ‘side (1)’ for a parallel to the Crow/Hidatsa developments here. Mandan has a different fricative grade but retains the h apparently also reflected in Biloxi (if the Biloxi forms are cognate). The Crow/Hidatsa -ia reflects earlier *-ihe, also indicative of an h-final root. Reduplication is the key to understanding the Crow/Hidatsa forms: *i-cihcih-E > *i-chcia. The cluster chc simplifies to ch in Hidatsa and to hc > hč before i in Crow. Crow čč reflects the preaspiration.
