	Question - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Chinese, the word order remains the same for questions as for statements, with the particle added to create a wh-interrogative in situ.
		The words who, whom, whose, what and why, can all be considered to come from a single Old English word hwā, reflecting its masculine and feminine nominative (hwā), dative(hwām), genitive(hwæs), neuter nominative(hwæt), and instrumental of all genders (hwȳ, later hwī) respectively.
		Other interrogative words, such as which, how, where, as well as the now archaic whither derive either from compounds (which coming from a compound of hwā[what, who] and lic[like]), or other words from the same root (how deriving from hū).

	English Grammar
		When the interrogative word is the subject of a verb, or modifies the subject of a verb, the word order of an indirect question is usually the same as that of a direct question.
		When the interrogative word is the object of a verb or preposition, or modifies the object of a verb or preposition, the word order of an indirect question differs from that of a direct question.
		As illustrated in the preceding examples, when the interrogative word is the object of a verb or preposition, or modifies the object of a verb or preposition, the first auxiliary precedes the subject in a direct question, but the subject precedes the verb in an indirect question.

		Although words such as muttered, prompted, pleaded, and warned can be used judiciously to clarify the emotional overtones of a scene, overuse of substitutes is often unnecessary; in a section of effective dialogue, the word said doesn't register in the mind of the reader.

		In this kind of interrogative construction, the word order is the same as a declarative sentence, but the speaker's voice rises at the end to signal the question.

		And it can certainly be part of a interrogative construction, as in the pattern QI2...HU1, which in fact occurs in the two sentences immediately preceding the disputed sentence.
		Someone might say that QI2 is combined with another interrogative word in the disputed sentence: YAN1.
		However, in its interrogative use, YAN1 must be pre-verbal: "If one chooses not to dwell in benevolence, how (YAN1) can one be wise?" (Analects 4:1) But in the disputed sentence YAN1 is post-verbal, and seems to be acting as the familiar fusion word (YU2 ZHI1 = among them).
