I'm not sure whether you can use {'ar} without a modified noun to support
it. If I were saying this myself, I'd rather expand on it: {'ar 'uj 'ab}
"how many uj long is it?", {'ar qelI'qam 'ab He} "how many kellicams long is
the road?". {'ar 'ab} just sounds like there's something missing. As for
{nuq 'ab}... I don't know, I just don't know. {{:) It sounds a tad strange
to me, but perhaps it's not ungrammatical - just unusual.
Savan.
