<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I'll write how
I'm understanding this, and correct me if I'm wrong.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I know that
the cat has drunk the milk, however the bird insists that it
still sees it.</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I want to say
to the bird: "I know that the cat has drunk the milk, so how do
you see it ?".</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">So I write:</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">{nIm Soppu'
vIghro' 'e' vISov, chay' vaj nImvam Dalegh ?}</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">At this
sentence, the {chay' vaj} "seems" strange, since the english
goes "how in that case..", while one would expect to listen "in
that case how..".</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">But I think,
that writing {chay' vaj..} *is* the correct choice, and that the
only "problem" is that the direct english translation sounds
strange.</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Am I right ?</p>

<p><b>vaj</b> is an adverbial, and <b>chay'</b> is a question word
that acts as an adverbial. I don't see that there is any obvious
preferred order, going strictly by the given rules.</p>
<p>I'm not aware of any canon combining <b>vaj</b> with another
adverbial or question word, so we don't have any data to go by.
The best we can do is speculate.</p>
<p>The English can go either way: <i>therefore in that case</i> or
<i>in that case therefore.</i> We can't go by the "feel" of the
English when deciding about the Klingon.</p>
<p>Ultimately do whichever you feel is best. There is no definitive
answer.<br>
