QUESTION
ASKING QUESTIONS: -u-...? (The particle -u- indicates a question, in direct or indirect speech attached to first word in phrase, especially a verb is it permitted? ― skuldu ist? If the verb has a prefix, the -u- comes right after the prefix: "do the two of you believe?" ga-u-laubjats?; "him or his parents?" sa-u thau fadrein is?) (Another question particle, used at start of phrase) so...?, then...? ― an, an-uh what then ― an hwa...? (note: These particles not required in the main clause if other more specific ones are used, thus) why are you so afraid? ― duhwe faurhtai sijuth swa? (rhetorical) surely one can't go back in the womb? ― ibai mag in wamba aftra galeithan? for would he not seem then... ― nei auk thuhtedi thau... Am I a Jew? ― waitei ik iudaius im? (Said by Pilot)
