kʷi-ǵenh₁- "what kind" -> qhicən -> which
"when" has a fancy etymology; it's from Early PAzal "qhoen" <- *kʷe-iHn-ey, which was not an interrogative; it was a derivative of kʷe "and", so it meant "and subsequently" but, in Late PAzal it shifted in meaning to an interrogative by analogy with the other qh words and the vowel shortened, making "qhen"
the word "ṫen" (then) came up, again by analogy, in phrases like "qhen ... ṫen ..."
"where" is from *kʷeysu
"why" is from *kʷey
"how" is from *kʷónoh₁ -> *kʷénoh₁ (random change) -> qheno -> qheo
"so" is from *swóy
