Quapaw mą́oží ‘quiver’ JOD
A compound of ‘chert, flint’ (=‘arrow’) and ‘put in, fill, plant’, q.v. Chiwere mą wíkʔį is not cognate beyond ‘arrow’. Since the bow and arrow were not introduced until ca. a.d. 500, these DH and Dakota terms are most likely separate coinages, just as the term for ‘bow’ was borrowed separately in the several MVS subgroups.
