OK. I see. Thanks for this clarification. I looked into my "bible", i.e. New Lakota Dictionary edited by Ullrich and find: sáŋ = to be dull white, off-white, whitish or grayish white. iúŋ = to apply smth on smth (as ointment, salve, paint), rub on, anoint, paint (when indicating color) So what you write as Saniun, Ullrich would write as Sáŋiúŋ. Compared to the words Saoni/Saone, I find the latter part not convincingly comparable ! So I am still open to a Cheyenne language influence ! For a better comparison: Saniun Sáŋiúŋ Saoni Saone
