General comment

Proto-Siouan *ki- ‘vertitive’ with hí ‘arrive there’. Hidatsa kh reflects the recent loss of the vowel, since inherited aspirates deaspirate in Hidatsa. Thus ki vertitive has retained its vowel into relatively modern times. In Hidatsa this verb has been reanalyzed as ablauting. The correspondence of Proto-Dhegiha *kh and Proto-Hoocąk-Chiwere *g confirms that Proto-Mississipi-Valley had *kVh.
