General comment

The Ofo and Chiwere forms may belong to ‘hunt, seek’, q.v., rather than this, since the *r/*R distinction is neutralized after *k. The Chiwere form here may be a compound: *ire + okRe. MRS, Ofo, and Mandan show dative-reflexive prefixes. Tutelo n must be a reflex of an earlier cluster also.
