Dear Robert (if I may),

I am currently doing a typological study on the use of the interrogative
pro-nouns meaning 'who?' and 'what?'. To my disappointment, information
on the use of 'who?' and 'what?' is difficult to find in grammars and
dictionaries. Therefore, I made up a small questionnaire of some 20
questions. May I ask you to answer the questions and translate the
English sentences in the Siouan languages you are most familiar with?
Even if you can do this only for a part of the questions, it will be of
great use to me. Any comments you may have, are also welcome. No need to
say that I will gratefully acknowledge your help when publishing or
presenting the results. You may find the questionnaire attached as an a
MS Word file.

Kind regards,

Dmitry Idiatov

PS: I presented some of the results of my research at the 6th biennial
meeting of the Association for Linguistic Typology in Padang (Indonesia)
this year. Please find the handout of my talk as an attachment. I left
the maps out because they made the pdf-file to big.
