 Interrogative verbs can either be zero-valent (i.e. an Impersonal Verb), as in ''"Innearaš?" >> *inea-ar-an=š'' [what.happened-PAST-INTRANS=IRREAL] ("What happened?"),  univalent, e.g. ''"Nansuriattaharaš?" >> *nansuriat-tah-ar-an=š'' [what.did.do-2S.ABS-PAST=IRREAL] ("What did you do?"), or even divalent, i.e. transitive,  e.g. ''"Išpinansuriattaharuš?" >> *šp-nansuriat-tah-ar-u=š'' [CAUS-what.did.do-2S.ERG+3MS.ABS] ("What did you make him do?).  Interrogative Verbs can be inflected for tense, aspect, person-number (for univalent verbs), and in some cases, theme, as illustrated in the last example.
