Cf. Tunica túwin ‘plover (killdeer, roadrunner)’ (MRH). Since in this environment DH o is generally [u] phonetically, the fit with Tunica is nearly exact, although it is of course not possible to prove borrowing with such an imitative term. Crow čuuwáawili and Hoocąk čweek are separate attempts to imitate, but Crow č does not equal Hoocąk č historically.
