Iho (iv), ad. 1. Correlative with ake, up above. When persons or objects are thus relatively situated, iho always qualifies the action or condition of that in the superior position in respect of that which is in the inferior position, though the ake need not necessarily be expressed. Ka mea ake ratou o te whare, “E koe, e iri iho nei, korero iho ra.” Ka mea iho taua maia ra, “Ina koa,” etc. (They said, “You hanging up above there,” etc.) (T. 65). Tenei ano te ora iho nei (T. 65).
2. Where the speaker is about to depart to some place, he is regarded as occupying a superior position, and iho is used as in the previous paragraph. Hoki ana ia kia to ratou kainga, i mea iho ia ki ona tuakana, etc. (T. 22). Ka mea iho te tangata nei, “Haere ake i muri nei, kia hohoro ake te haere” (T. 148).

I te awatea ka purea a Whakaue ratou ko ana tama … po iho ai ka whiti mai a Hinemoa ki Mokoia (The very next night Hinemoa swam over) (T. 135). It thus forms comparatives of what may be termed inferior adjectives and adverbs, as raro iho, lower; iti iho, less; etc. Katahi ia ka neke tata iho ki raro iho (T. 16). In this connection iho may sometimes be translated thereupon. Mahuetia iho ona hoa ki to ratou waka (T. 22). Huaina iho ki te taunga ko Kamokamo (J. xx, 17).
