Since we have been discussing and concluding that we shall use <nuq> in the
Noun 2 position to mean "which," I shall rephrase the above to:
ta' nuq Data' not 'e' DaSovbej
SuQ should have been Suq all along.
If I had found a word for "results," I would have stuck with *result nuq
DaSuq not 'e' DaSovbej
