Proto-Siouan

Pre-Mandan *re•he + *hre ‘go + causative’

Mandan réhere , †ré•here ‘put’ H:175

General comment

Hollow analyzes the Mandan form as a derivation from ‘go’. However, one might also consider a derivation from Mandan and Proto-Siouan re, ‘this, here, now’, in the sense ‘cause to be here’. Cf. also ‘put, set upright’.
