LATIN SMALL LETTER ROTATED P was used; see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BAE-Siouan_Alphabet.png . It has caused some whimpering among those trying to transcribe the text. (It's not Dorsey's fault; apparently he used a unique handwriting alphabet to transcribe the language, but the editors and printers choose this transcription.) -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.
