[Interestingly, I had never before noticed that in a sentence like "Do you 
want coffee or tea?", you can't properly use the noun conjunctions {ghap} or 
{joq} unless you want neither; the sentence is not a yes/no question.  That's why 
I rephrased it the way I did.  On the other hand, I haven't noticed anybody 
making this distinction.]
