General comment

The DH and Chiwere/Hoocąk forms suggest that Dakota ų- here may be an irregular reflex of *wa + į-. The syllable structure here has collapsed in different ways and at different times in the several languages. Accent placement should, by the second syllable rule, fall on *į but it has been shifted variously in accordance with the alterations in syllable structure.

Cf. ‘defecate, dung (1)’.
