1 If this is correctly recorded, informant was hesitating between two words, akwanahdw 
(for older -ahydw) : “he places him covering” and akwanahwdw : “he covers him with 
something, or by tool.” The latter is attested by the occurrence of the corresponding 
form with inanimate object^ akwanaham, and of other derivatives; not so the former, 
whose inanimate would end m -astdw.
