What other questions of this type have we seen? This example looks like a
Question-As-Object, and is therefore controversial at best.
Although I don't have any canon examples similar to it, the sentence above
could (perhaps) be given better as
{'uj mI' 'abbogh yIngu'!} - Identify the number of uj it measures!
The word 'when' as a question is {ghorgh}; as a conjunction it's {-DI'}. The
other question words may have similar corresponding terms that we don't know
yet. Or not.
