However, if π“ˆπ’°Ν˜π’Ήπ’°Ν˜ is used alone, it is, as Quintero notes on page 85 of her dictionary, a "shortened form of π“π’»π“ˆπ’°Ν˜π’Ήπ’°."As a general rule, kinship terms in Osage must have a prefix to express my, your, or his/her. This particular case is a rare exception where this base form can be used to address an individual (vocative).
