<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I rethought this matter and decided that unless there is any Ca'Non
which suggests otherwise, to be placing the {-'e'} on the noun instead
of the question word {'ar}.
So, in the example above I'd finally choose to write {jaghpu'na'ma'
chaH qama''e' 'ar ?}.
First of all, there's something which seems wrong with writing
{jaghpu'na'ma' chaH qama' 'ar'e' ?}.
And second, the only question words in Ca'Non known to be able to bear
type-5 suffixes are the {'Iv} and {nuq}, since they occupy <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>exactly<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>
the same position as their answer. But (as far as I know), there is
nowhere written that the {'ar} functions similarly.</pre>

<p><b>nuqDaq</b> also occupies the same location as the answer, but
it's said to be a combination of <b>nuq + -Daq,</b> so it's
already got a type 5 suffix and can't have another.</p>
<p>Lacking any instructions whatsoever on the mutual use of <b>'ar</b>
and type 5 suffixes, I too would not assume the suffix goes on <b>'ar.</b>
And this isn't limited to translations of "to be" sentences.</p>
<p><i>How many buildings do you work in?<br>
</i><b>qachDaq 'ar bIvum?</b></p>
<p>But if we do receive word later that the suffix migrates to the <b>'ar,</b>
I will not be surprised or dismayed.<br>
