The more I think about this problem, the better I like the suggestion of
<nuqDIch>. This seems [to me] particularly appropriate when asking which of
a number of things might be chosen.
Still, I wish to being up another construction:
targhmey nuq targh Daje' DaneH
= Which targ are you going to buy?
Here we see redundancy being employed to indicate the question: which? In
that Klingons have a tendency to "clip" almost as much as they can get away
with, <targhmey> will often get dropped, leaving:
nuq targh Daj' DaneH
Is this going to cause problems? Now we have a noun-noun construct <nuq
targh>. Does this mean "targ of what" or "what targ," quite literally in
that order.
