Omaha-Ponca čhi ‘copulate’ JEK
Kanza/Kaw čhü ‘copulate’ RR
Marsh always writes aspiration in Chiwere. Here he writes only “t”, presumably an allophone of d. At an earlier stage the vast majority and probably all of the Proto-Mississipi-Valley *rh clusters go back to a disyllable, v. ‘arrive here’ and other examples. The earlier shape of this root is not easily recovered in this instance. Cf. also ‘copulate (3)’, ‘chase’.
