General comment

Within the groups cognacy seems likely, although this may be a diffused term in Chiwere/Hoocąk where the final sequence *-ka normally (but not here) becomes -ke with great regularity. Forms which accent the rightmost syllable are vocatives. For the final V, see also ‘daughter, youngest’, which has -a consistently. Cf. Omaha-Ponca isíno (JOD) ‘son’ (FLF wiçinu) which, taken with the Hoocąk term, shows that the root here is si•-.
