Topic means that it marks old information, so I concluded logically that question words like *nuq* and *'Iv* cannot be marked by *-'e'*. But there is a sentence in STID, *«DevwI' ghaH 'Iv'e'?»* ‘Who is the leader?’ Is the usage of *-'e'* in *be*-sentences a different (fourth) usage that is neither topic, focus, nor head-marking in a relative clause? Or is it perhaps focus just in this one example after all? Or can we dismiss it saying that Uhura's Klingon isn't quite perfect and native-like and she made a mistake here (I believe she said this sentence)? Koran antaŭdankon, — André
