We see this influence in this sample sentence ''Wanko šúnkawakáninehi owožupi kasukakatsané''. Nahónda ''šúnkawakáne'' "horse" is borrowed directly from Lakota ''šúŋkawakȟáŋ'', as is ''owožu'' "grass". Even the plural marker ''-pi'' is borrowed from the Lakota plural marker ''-pi''. The verb ''sukaka-tsa'' comes from Nahenic roots, c.f. Minhast ''sukkan'' "to be quick" and ''saru'' "to see". |
