Géarthnuns also has an interrogative mood marked by the verbal prefix "hö-", and it's quite natural and non-artifical. In fact, in colloquial speech, this prefix floats at the end of very informal questions: "Kfö öçek la hö?" "And you?", "What about you?" "Hö-" is definitely required in any interrogative utterance.
