Hmm, tough to answer without giving too much away. The Initial <h> does correspond to an initial *h grapheme but it doesn’t necessarily correspond to the phoneme /x/. I’m trying to be as precise in my language as I can be to answer, give a sufficient hint, and not give it away.

Edit: Next (from Mánnìkán ): bɔ̂ bɔ̄̂ (This is not a fixed expression, but a common phrase)
