"ñuha" is reminiscent of Quechua "ñuqa" ("I", "me").

Both are possible, but if you put it after the word, it sounds more formal and official. Kind of like English "my mother" vs. "mother of mine". For example:
- When Her Grace says "Valyrian is my mother tongue", she says Valyrio muño ēngos ñuhys issa, "Valyrian mother tongue of-mine is" (S03, E04).
- But when trying to calm down a citizen, she in her wisdom chooses the more casual pattern, with "my" first: "Zūgagon daor, ñuhys raqiros. "Fear not, my friend" (S04, E10).

Does HV follow a Celtic-like genitive pattern? "muña ñuha" = "mother (of) me" = "my mother"?

Both orders are possible, but possessive-last sounds more formal. The same is true of adjectives.
