maybe obtained by inflection, that is, by raising the voice or by placing the
particle kah after a word in a declarative sentence.
The interrogative form of the verb-to-have may similarly be formed. The
interrogative sentence, Have you a house? for example, may be rendered:
• Awak ada rumah? or
• Awak ada rumahkah? Or
• Adakah itu rumah awak?
