We have the {nuq}, which is a question word.
And we have the type-5 noun suffix {-'e'}..
However, the {nuq} *can* take an {-'e'}, in cases like:
{vIghro' tIQ 'oH nuq'e' ?}
Now, lets forget all this..
.. And lets imagine a classic moment of family happiness:
There's the son, who demands more and more money, so the father being bled
dry, eventually shouts at his son:
"What more do you want from me ? What ???"
As far as the second "what" is concerned, could it take an emphatic {-'e'} ?
I know that in be sentences, the {-'e'} isn't actually the emphatic one,
but I can't stop wondering, whether we *could* indeed add an emphatic
{-'e'} on a {nuq}.
