re nuq: jImIStaH
Looking in TKD pg69:
In the second case, the object is being questioned,
so the question word goes in the object position,
before the verb. Similarly with nuq what?
and then an example:
nuq legh yaS - What does the officer see?
Obviously that doesn't mean that I've used nuq in the right place but I
thought if the object was being replaced by "what?" then that's where nuq
went.
