1002 Grammatical construction of the Ho language. [No. 106. 



or plural " aloka'^ is prefixed to the pronoun, and the root alone of the 

 verb is used. 



The Subjunctive mood is vague and imperfect. In the Present, and 

 Future tenses " redo'^ is added to the root, sometimes together with 

 the word " honang" " derang" or " torn" (signifying conditionality) 

 affixed. 



The Past tense is formed in the same way ; indeed there appears to 

 be no Past Subjunctive tense; but sometimes the conditional terminal 

 *' rec?o" is added to the Past perfect Indicative. 



This word ^^redo" admits the vowel to be affixed to it, or to come 

 immediately before it and after the root.
