Osh

Gitch-ee-gw-ga-osh, the Point that remains for ever; a very old and respectable Chief.

As a plural suffix I E -as seems to be presented by the Mandan plural suffix osh.

That's you, steady and long and piling up,—then, wo-oo-oo-oo-osh.

A bad meaning is, however, distinctly conveyed by the inflection, osh or ish.

The standard of the Kish-ko-guis or long hairs, is red, and that of the Osh-cushis or braves, blue.
