hor
Hor for Agreement and Reminders
Hor often directs the listener's attention to a point they should acknowledge.
How It Works
Seeking Acknowledgment
Hor can invite the listener to recognize a point, as in a check about an agreed plan.
Keeping a Point in Mind
It can also reinforce a reminder about what should happen. Bring your pass tomorrow hor. asks the listener to keep that instruction in mind. The future occasion makes the reminder clear.
Read More Than the Spelling
The contour and the surrounding exchange shape the force of hor. It is not the English word or, and it does not make every statement a request for new information. A reminder can be warm or stern.
