"Where do you want to sit?"

This weekend my {be'nal} and I were at a restaurant, and I wanted to
ask her where she wanted to sit. The first phrasing that came to mind
raised a question. If {neH} were a "normal" verb in that it took {'e'},
I would use this:
maba' nuqDaq 'e' DaneH?
But since {neH} doesn't take {'e'} - do you just
drop the {'e'} above and get {maba' nuqDaq DaneH}, or would it become
{nuqDaq maba' DaneH}?
This is probably a bad casting of the question anyway, but the point is:
are sentences with {neH} still sentence-as-object, or single sentences,
where placement of adverbials is concerned?
