George:
The comments your are making about Lakota /Dakota/ Nakota under Teton Lakota really belongs here.
My old friend William K. Powers says that "Wa" is a noun marker. This works for many words but not all.
Bill learned to talk Lakota way back in the late 1940's at Pine Ridge as a teenager. I am sure you are familiar
with his many books.
I learned long ago here at Devils Lake among "D" speakers that words like sicun and nagi changed meaning with a "wa" in front.
So keep up your good work. There are many "lerkers" watching and cheering you on.
He miye do.
Louie or should I say Douie ha,ha.
