The Hidatsa form, when compared with the Mandan, seems to derive by rightward vowel exchange from an earlier *-ruka-. The inalienable possession of the form in Hidatsa may result from the homophony of uninflected *waraku- <*waruka- = <a class="Language" href="https://csd.clld.org/languages/ma" title="Mandan">Mandan</a> warų-ka to the first person inalienable form of a putative **raku-.
