Anyone have info on why it’s sometimes “Hlonolofatsa”, and sometimes “Hlohonolofatsa”? Is the extra “ho” an elongation of the “o” sound, and not actually a separate syllable?

The correct way to say it is “Hlohonolofatsa”. Hlonolofatsa is a concantenation and should ideally be Hlo’nolofatsa, but it’s never quite clear how the Basotho concantenate their words in writing.
