The reason I have chosen {nuqDaq DaDab} is that {nuqDaq} does not have to be
defined as the question word {nuq} plus the locative noun suffix type 5
{-Daq}.  The word {nuqDaq} IS the question word itself. (TKD p. 68)

Sometimes, often, the answer must use the locative.  But, not in the case of
{Dab}.
