What other questions of this type have we seen?  This example looks like a 
Question-As-Object, and is therefore controversial at best.  
Although I don't have any canon examples similar to it, the sentence above 
could (perhaps) be given better as
{'uj mI' 'abbogh yIngu'!} - Identify the number of uj it measures!  

The word 'when' as a question is {ghorgh}; as a conjunction it's {-DI'}.  The 
other question words may have similar corresponding terms that we don't know 
yet.  Or not.
