For years, you've done stuff like this and it hasn't been
especially productive.
{'arlogh} wasn't a word until Okrand gave it to us. {'arDIch} is
not a word yet, and likely won't be.
{'arlogh} addressed a concept that could not be recast. There
was no other way to ask the question {'arlogh} asked.
{'arDIch} can be recast with the same mechanisms that the
question word "which" uses.
