hamú

2nd sg.

It is used instead of ho as a singular to personswho,

in relation to the speaker, belong to a different marga*

or must be regarded as so belonging. For example,

adult brothers and sisters use it to each other, because

a wife takes the marga of her husbandand and is,

therefore considered to belong to a different marga to

that of her brother. A father and her adult daughter use

it for the same reason.
