General comment

Quapaw -tt- may be JOD transcription error. Or there may have been contamination from -ttaže ‘make a crackling or clapping sound’ or an analogical change based on the conjugated forms which geminate the t postaccentually. Hoocąk also shows a different fricative grade in one instance unless ruǰas is a typo.
