Cf. Dakota hotaƞke ‘Ho-Chunk, Winnebago’, which contrasts ą/ų, so thų would not seem to be related to ‘big’, although it appears to have been reanalyzed as ‘big’ in DH. Unless †htų becomes analyzable, this term may break down historically as either *ho ‘voice’ + htų or as *hoh ‘voice’ + tų, since ‘voice’, q.v., preserves evidence for a root extension -he in OVS and Hidatsa, and *hC > Ch in Lakota and Chiwere/Hoocąk is a synchronic rule.
