    <p>Mohammad,</p>
    <p>You're very welcome.  Perhaps I could ask you a question of my
      own about the Hamedani dialect of Persian. I am interested in how
      you ask "What is your name?".  In Standard Persian I believe it is
      something like "Esme chi ache", or maybe "Esme to chie".  What
      would the equivalent sentence look like in Hamedani?</p>
    <p>Thanks,</p>
    <p>David</p>

              <p>Dear Mohammad,</p>
              <p> </p>
              <p>Malay/Indonesian has some of the things you are
                searching for.</p>
              <p> </p>
              <p>1.  In several varieties of Malay/Indonesian, there is
                a particle (Standard Malay/Indonesian <i>kah</i>,
                Papuan Malay <i>ka</i>, Kupang Malay <i>ko</i>) whose
                variegated functions include (a) forming a polar
                question; and (b) marking a content question, by
                cooccuring with a WH word.  The latter would be an
                example of double marking of content questions.</p>
              <p> </p>
              <p>2.  The verb <i>coba</i>, whose basic meaning is
                'try', is also commonly used as a polite imperative
                marker, and this latter use is also generalized to
                content questions, where it seems to mean something like
                "please try and answer this question".  I believe <i>coba</i>
                does not occur in polar questions (though I would have
                to double check this).</p>
              <p> </p>
              <p>In principle, the above two strategies should be able
                to cooccur with a WH word to yield what would be triple
                marking of content questions.  However I was not able to
                find any clear cut examples of this in our corpus, and I
                suspect that such triple marking might be precluded by
                the contradictory semantic values of the two forms, the
                particle <i>kah/ka/ko</i> being associated with a basic
                meaning of uncertainty, while <i>coba</i> seeming to
                maintain its implicit imperative function.  But this
                requires further thought ...</p>
