> kwa zi tem da dum?

Why did you put "kwa" at the beginning of the sentence? Given that "kwa" is the object, wouldn't the more natural word order be "zi tem da dum kwa?"

(The rule that question words are always at the beginning of sentences is a very Indo-European thing which isn't at all natural. At any rate, you have put "kwa" at a later position in the sentence "zi sta kwa?" on the out of date web site. )

How liberal is Ceqli word order?
