According to Byington, "crazy" is okpulot taha. If there is a "harcho" in Choctaw is probably is a borrowed word. Actually, I am wondering if it might not be borrowed anyway because of the "r." I don't have a Muskoke dictionary, but I do have an Alabama dictionary (a related language) and neither Alabama or Choctaw have that sound.
