General comment

This form consists of ‘stand’ with the Proto-Siouan vertitive prefix *ki-. Cf. ‘standing, inanim. classifier’. Biloxi n reflects an earlier kr, cf. ‘find’ and ‘marked > spotted, striped (1)’ for other instances. This pre-Biloxi kr corresponds to the Hidatsa form. With the loss of the k in Biloxi, another ki- was added. Tutelo shows an equivalent to the Biloxi process just described.
