basdąBAH-sdahⁿmake bare by cuttingmow (grass)transitive verbunspec. comp. form ofba-sdą2This term is appropriate for most situations of mowing or cutting grass. The prefix "ba-" refers to "by means of cutting" and can refer to cutting grass in general (IE a lawn mower). There is another term for cutting grass that uses the prefix "gi-". That prefix refers to cutting by striking and is more appropriate for situations like when a weed cutter or whip trimmer (long-handled grass cutting tools) are used.Comparegisdąyeunspec. comp. form ofgi-1sdą2rusdą2unspec. comp. form ofru-sdą2wasdą3unspec. comp. form ofwa-2sdą2

Bathabah-THAHBAH-thahBeaver Clanproper nounBeaverproper nounFree VariantBakuxthaBaxthaBAHX-thahThis is the proper term for the Beaver Clan. Lewis Henry Morgan states (incorrectly) in his book "Ancient Society" (page 156) that, "A gens of the Beaver Pä-kuh'-thä once existed among the Iowas and Otoes, but it is now extinct." Though he is incorrect about the clan being extinct, it should be noted that he does not mention a Beaver Clan belonging to the Missourias.Little BeaverYoung BeaverYoung Batha
