This is a nominalization of *ʔį́he ‘wear about the shoulders’, q.v. Although Mandan apparently lacks the verb root, the form given is the perfectly regular derivation product. The coexistence of Omaha-Ponca waʔį́ and other DH mį́ suggests temporally independent derivation with Quapaw showing an intermediate stage. The relatively recent Omaha-Ponca form is morphemically transparent and simply means ‘what you wear’. The same argument applies to Quapaw and Hoocąk (vs. Chiwere).
