Okrand kept the door open for there to be SOMETHING that worked as QAO. That's his style. He tends to want there to be possibilities he hasn't considered yet. Whenever he talked about QAO, it's generally been a response to specific suggestions that he rejected, mostly because people have tried to use {'e'} to represent the answer to the question instead of the question itself; they've been trying to use QAO as an alternative means of building a relative clause without using {-bogh}. The result sometimes makes sense in English, but it never makes sense in Klingon.
