There's something I'm wondering, with regards to the {ghaHvaD nuq Dapong}.

Lets assume, I want to ask someome, how someone is called.

And I say: {ghaHvaD nuq Dapong ?}.

There's something in this sentence, that seems weird to me..

Assume the guy's name is "peter". The word "peter", takes the place of {nuq}, so the person asked, could probably reply by saying: {ghaHvaD peter vIpong}.

But then we would have nuq = peter.

But how can "peter" be a "what" ? Isn't "peter" a "he" ?

A /name/ is a *nuq,* not an *'Iv.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
