General comment

Where ʔ is lost a glide is often inserted in the vowel cluster.

This term is a composite of *ʔų•do, make’ and *i- ‘instrumental’ Dakotan has evidently lost the crucial initial element, so ‘use’ is homophonous with ‘do, be’ but the two verbs are conjugated differently. Crow óolihche ‘eat along with’ GG-52 and Crow óoli ‘foods eaten with meats’ DEC-104, cognate with Hidatsa ó•ri ‘be complete’, do not appear to be cognate, but cf. the Kanza/Kaw form.
