Problems

It's not clear to me what JOD means by "(for Maⁿȼiñga ha)" on the first example. In modern usage this would be the female speech equivalent, but I think the use of ha/ho was different in 19th century.

What is the plus sign after the examples? Does this mean a special length or pitch accent?
