wihkuv.II.trto scratch (the skin to let blood)This verb can also be Class I, but Class II is the preferred form.From Haas: This refers to the fairly general Southeastern custom of scratching the arms and legs, often with garfish teeth. Among the Creek Indians scratching was done ceremonially during the annual Green Corn Ceremony. At other times it was used as a punishment, or threat of punishment, for children. From Stuart Neitzel (in Frank Speck APS collection): My informant mentioned that they kept themselves in condition for dancing as for the ball games by applying warm water and then formerly using a special bone point, but now using a needle, make a fairly deep scratch so as to bleed themselves.Bleed, bloodInjure
