General comment
This is a compound verb. In DH, but not Lakota/Dakota, both parts not only
require actor pronominal prefixes, but have preserved synchronically
irregular, fossilized allomorphs of these prefixes. Proto-Dhegiha 1Act *k-kǫ-b-ra,
2Act š-kǫ́•-š-ra. Lakota kų́la B-315b analysed as dim. ‘desire; covet’; 1Act
wakų́la. Lakota -la is not a match for the second root in DH. The Lakota from
does not palatalize (PAssiniboine 1980:94).
