General comment

Status of the OVS forms is uncertain, but compare with the reflexes for ‘day’, ‘louse’, where we also have h corresponding to n in the SE.

Perhaps a combination of ‘long (2)’ and the similative ska (see ‘near’), following Boas and Deloria. This would explain the partial cognacy of the SE terms.
