<p>When I say "acts as an adverbial," I don't mean that TKD tells us
to treat those words as adverbials; I mean the words' meanings are
adverbial in nature. <b>chay'</b> <i>how?</i> is asking the
manner in which something is done. That's adverbial. <b>qatlh</b><i>
why?</i> is asking the reason something is done; that's
adverbial. <b>ghorgh</b><i> when?</i> is asking the time
something is done; that's adverbial — although in Klingon maybe
it's considered a time element.</p>
<p>Federation linguists classified <b>chay', ghorgh, qatlh, nuq,
nuqDaq, 'Iv,</b> and <b>'ar</b> as question words; Klingon
linguists classify them with <b>chuvmey,</b> along with all the
adverbials, conjunctions, exclamations, and so on. The
classification of some words into question words shouldn't make
you think they are completely separate from other classes of
words, or that they all work the same way. Barring Okrandian
intervention, the best we can do is observe the canon and
formulate the rules they seem to follow.<br>
