 In T and Y only for indefinite collectives, like: he has horses, there are people; only 3d

According to Riggs this is a defective verb in Santee. The only forms he gives are: 



yuk'q there exists; — yuk'q'pi there exist; — duk'q'pi you exist; — 'uk l q'(pi) we (dual and plural) exist. 



In Yankton this is used as continuative suffix in dual and plural, but without pi. In the 

 first person dual and plural the pronoun precedes the verb that is made continuative (singular 

 yqka unaccented).

 no -pi); 'eha'duk'q ye were saying; — 'ep'a'mqka I am saying
