Yes, that's the original discussion. {nuq} comes close, but leaves a lot of
ambiguity. Does {jIlo' tajmey nuq} mean "what/which knife do I use?" or does
it mean "what [part] of the knives do I use?" Since "which" implies one of a
limited choice of answers, yoDtargh suggested {*nuqDIch}. It is completely
non-canon, but it has a certain charm. Can someone compile a list of things
to take to the qep'a' wish-list/brainstorm session? I won't be there, and I
think {*nuqDIch} should be considered.
