I agree with that. Even though it may sound "logical" in that sentence, 
I doubt it's grammatically correct to have a {legh'a' 'Iv}. The -'a' 
suffix indicates a yes/no question while the 'Iv requires an answer. In 
such a situation, I can see Captain Kirk talking to the M-5 computer who 
destroys himself not knowing what to answer to such a question.

{legh'a' 'Iv?} - {HIja'!!}

When giving the English example it's also not a yes/no question any 
more: Does he see it? -> Who does see it? and not "Does who see it?"
