The following list of Ho kilis (clans) is taken from Lesson Forty-Nine — Kilis in Deeney’s Ho Grammar & Vocabulary (2002). It presents a documented record of Ho clan names, their associated villages, and traditional marriage restrictions. Deeney notes that the list is not exhaustive and that some details vary by region. The information was gathered mainly from clan members, though certain data may be second-hand. Differences in reported marriage prohibitions reflect regional variation and changing social practices.
Overall, the list provides valuable insight into Ho clan structure, exogamy rules, and the geographical distribution of kilis, serving as an important resource for understanding Ho social organisation.
