I've got a question about interrogatives. (Do I ever start an email without saying, "I have a question..."?) I'm having some difficulty deciding what my interrogatives will be in C-a. I've come up with several possibilities derived from several sources. First there's Who fin <quem What fid <quid Which fi <qui (or que) Where pa <qua When pun <quum Why pu <quur How pomu <quommu Which <qui (or que) Second there's What/Which pali <qualis Why pervi <per qui Where jundi <unde Third there's the possibility of borrowing Hebrew (either as Hebrew or as a standin for Punic) _man_ for "what". Why? Just because I like the word. Have any real Romlangs borrowed any interrogatives from non-Latin/Romance sources? Additionally, I am concidering including the following interrogatives: To what degree? Pan? How much/many? Pandu? How often? Pochi? Currently, I'm leaning toward the following scheme: Fin Who Fid What Pali What Pun When Pervi Why Jundi Where Pomu How Pandu How much/many Pochi How often But I could change my mind entirely at any moment. Conlangers perrogative, you know. What say you? Adam
