General comment

Cf. ‘fly (1)’, ‘lay’ for similar consonantism. Hoocąk and Chiwere t is apparently a reflex of epenthetic *r that was inserted to separate vowels in 1st and 2nd person forms of these verbs. In these forms ʔ is not ordinarily present. The citation/3rd person forms seem to contain the organic plus the analogical r, which, as elsewhere, > t when in a cluster with a laryngeal (h or ʔ). Omaha-Ponca áąsi could be a compound of áąp + (p)si (both meaning ‘jump’).
