[tlhIngan Hol] The book of our good captain

[mayqel qunenoS]

I understand that when experts talk, they have the tendency to explain
things in a way, simple people are unable to understand.

but because a conclusion (which simple people will be able to
understand), must come out of all this, I will ask again :

Are the following correct ?

question word {sentence 1 'e' sentence 2} = acceptable if the result
is a question, asking about the entire {sentence 1 'e' sentence 2}.

{sentence 1 question word 'e' sentence 2} = acceptable if the result
is a question, asking about sentence 2.

question word {sentence 1 neH} = acceptable if the result is a
question, asking about the entire {sentence 1 neH}.

{sentence 1 question word neH} = acceptable if the result is a
question, asking about the {neH}.

from this entire thread I understand, that there is no problem placing
a question word anywhere in a SAO, as long as the resulting
construction functions / is to be interpreted as a question.

If this conclusion is wrong, someone do correct me.
