what was the word you're talking about?

i have some doubts about this.  (first, some rambling)
if {nuq} can be used as a pronoun-verb (like ghaH, 'oH, and MOST ESPECIALLY 
'Iv) then the question has to be set up with the question word {nuq} in the 
same position as the desired answer. 

[tkd p.69: "For {'Iv} *who?* and {nuq} *what?* the question word fits into 
the sentence in the position that would be occupied by the answer."]

the answer would look like {*word* 'oH mu''e'} or just {*word* 'oH}, {'oH} 
replaces {mu'} and *word* replaces {nuq}.
so your first part looks right to me.  
(end of rambling)

"what's it for?"  :  nuq ngoQDaj. - its goal is what?
