Crow seems to show the older MRS form, with expected e > a perhaps before x. Hidatsa has lost intervocalic r. Initial e• is perhaps due to the influence of ‘excrete’, q.v. Two Ablaut grades are preserved in what is probably a deverbal noun. Cf. ‘urine (1), urinate (1)’. Biloxi initial ha-, if also Proto-Siouan, would provide the *hr cluster in Proto-Mississipi-ValleyS that would yield *R from Proto-Siouan *r.
