Aho' or ahu is originally a word in the Crow language [pronounced ah-hoo'], meaning "many" or "much" and by association, "thanks". In the 19th century it was often translated "plenty" by White Americans, as in the name of Chief "Plenty Coups" - a better translation is "Many War Achievements".
This word has passed into the languages of many other tribes (including Kiowa), as a kind of universal "thank you".

Did Kiowa Indians live in IL?
The Kiowa gradually migrated southwards from the area that became western Montana where they had been friends and allies of the Crows - even adopting the Crow word aho, meaning "thanks".For a time the Kiowa occupied the Black Hills region before being driven out by the Lakota; eventually they arrived in their historic location in western Oklahoma, Texas and parts of Kansas and Colorado. At no time did they occupy any of the area that later became Illinois - they never got that far east.
How do you say the f word in Japanese?
Well actually, and quite unfortunately, there is a large lack of direct translations from English to Japanese so the closest thing you would get to that would be writing the "F" word in katakana (one of three Japanese alphabets that is used primarily for foreign words). That would look something like this: ファク　and would be pronounced virtually the same as the original word, as would any other English word in Japanese. If you're looking to insult your friends or others without them understanding or if you are actually traveling to Japan and know you need some insults (and by the way be careful because they might be peaceful but the Japanese take explicit words quite seriously), then you need to look up some actual Japanese insults or at the least their equivalents. For example: "Baka" = idiot "Kuso" = S*** "Aho" = A***ole Just look up "how to swear in Japanese" and you get tons of sites. Hey look im going to hold this knife over my hea.... KUSO
What Indian tribe lived in South Dakota?
That depends on the time period.In the early 1740s the Kiowas lived in the area of the Black Hills and were close allies and friends with the Crows - they picked up the thank-you word "aho" from the Crows and kept it in their own language. We do not know how long the Kiowas had been in that location prior to this time.A short time later the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes moved into the same area near the Black Hills (perhaps about 1760) - they were forced to move by Sioux tribes armed with guns, who gradually became the dominant force in the Black Hills (certainly by the early 1800s).So the Teton Sioux (Lakotas) claimed the Black Hills as their own "traditional" hunting and burial grounds, when in fact they had simply taken it over by force - just as later the white Americans did.
