This form appears to be a compound of *(i)yo• ‘flesh’ and an unidentified second element. Mandan and Biloxi seem reasonably close and the treatment here is reminiscent of clusters in ‘wear around the neck’ or ‘necklace’. Biloxi ḳ quite generally corresponds to MVS kʔ. The MVS forms may be cognate but the complex morphology here is not yet well understood. Initial syllable accent ordinarily presumes a missing initial vowel. In this instance it would be inalienable i-, but there is no trace of the inflectional prefix in this loosely incorporated form. This suggests that, even though accent is very largely predictable in Proto-Siouan on the second vowel, there were instances in which it was distinctive.
Predictability was not complete .
