I didn't know this; so the translation of {-wI'} is "-er", regardless it refers to a person or an object ?
No, I didn't say that. It was a hint to remember. TKD says that "The English suffix "-er" [...] is a rough equivalent." Plese check my other mail where I explain that the subject of {ghel} seems to be the person who is asking. Regarding your question on {-wI'}, there are many words which can have double meanings - maybe even all. For instance, a {ghItlhwI'} can be a pen, but also a person who writes. A {DuDwI'} is described as a mixer, but of course it can be a person who is mixing the sauce. So theoretically, the {ghelwI'} might indeed be a sentence, but it just sounds strange. The sentence does not ask the question, it IS the question. I wouldn't use that unless Maltz tells us that it's okay to do so. -- Lieven L.
