Is it really? The verb {neH} always had a special place in Klingon grammar,
maybe it also has here.
I know it is wrong to say {ghorgh bImej 'e' vISov}, but how is it with {neH}?

vay' vISop vIneH.
    I want to eat s.th.
nuq vISop vIneH?
    I want to eat what?
qagh vISop vIneH.
    I want to eat Gagh

Doesn't that look right? IS it right?
Do we (again) have to recast everything that starts with "What do you want
to <verb>?"
Maybe it lokks like a QaO, but it still remains a question!
