To ask the *question*, one says {ghorgh tagh}. The *answer* does not
use the question word; it replaces the question word with the answer.
{ghorgh tagh} "When does it begin?"
{jar vagh jaj wa' tagh.} "It begins day one of month five."
>>How about {ghorgh rIn}?
>It would have the same problem as the previous term.
