The verb "kick" in Lakota is nahtaka [you say nagh.da.kah].

Adding the prefix wa- to the verb stem creates the absolute form of the verb, where no object is needed (in this case wanahtaka means just kicking, without needing to state what is being kicked).

The Oglala Sioux man who was an instigator of the Ghost Dance movement, Kicking Bear, was called mato wanahtaka or mahto wanahtake in Lakota.
