usąOO-sahⁿhelpverbunspec. comp. formukikisąwosąThis term is derived from "reverse engineering" a term used by Rev. Moses Merrill in his "Otoe Hymn Book" and "First Ioway Reading Book." That term is "wo wa jon" which he uses as "help us." This would be spelled in our current orthography as "wowasą." Removing "us" from this term (which would be "wawa-") leaves us with "usą." This term is almost identical to another term for help which is "ugisą."Comparehe ugisąugisąunspec. comp. form ofgi-3usąhelpgive aid toassist
