Looking further in the draft file I see I should have given the following:
\c mo'[ehe
\e *elk
\co for some speakers this word is sg., pl., & obv.; for others m~o'e is
   sg.; possible pl. for some speakers mo'[eheo'o pl.
The '[ is the glottal stop, or perhaps high pitch, glottal stop.  The
mysterious ~ is middle pitch.  I think ' is high pitch.
