General comment

Comparing MRS and OVS it looks as though *hí• (‘arrive there’??) is originally compounded with *ki (probably ‘reciprocal’) and when this contracted to *k-hi• and became opaque a new stem *hpa was added. Now this augmented stem can be “reciprocalized” in DH by prefixing yet another *hki. DH kh rather than hk is predicted, so analogy has played a role here; the earlier *khi has been reinterpreted as a simple ‘reciprocal’.

Hidatsa wak- is reciprocal.
