Is -ado a suffix or the suffixal part of a compound?
It’s a suffix and höc is the root.
Is it a verbal root?

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.

I really like <höc> for 'white'
I am supposed to provide the next word, right?
Edit: Next (from Mánnìkán ): bɔ̂ bɔ̄̂ (This is not a fixed expression, but a common phrase)
