Cf. Dakota iní thí ‘sweat lodge’. Several Dakotan forms with -ni- suggest this stem is bimorphemic, probably *wa-rį́ originally. It seems likely that this form arose in MVS though, since if it were Proto-Siouan it should be treated exactly like ‘water’, with which it would have been homophonous.
Note that nasalization is complete only in Dakotan.
