Of course, it could also be the case that the targ *is* beside the  
river, doing something other than sitting.

{ghobe'. bIQtIq retlhDaq Qamqu' targh.}
"No. The targ is *standing* beside the river."

If you just want to ask about the targ's location, using a "pronoun- 
as-to-be" is the proper way to do it.  {bIQtIq retlhDaq 'oHtaH'a'  
targh'e'?}
