interrogative.

dhí, mp. Interrogative mood; see but note also special usage rules.

attestation: The dhí form was considered standard in the early Íomanazinení period, but was displaced by dí quickly, which had been preferred in the Oksí Lilitika design. Some purists continued to use dhí in Zeyetaní and Venrafivía, usually only when the sentence's main verb was passive. This pattern of lenition would later feature prominently in the Sarasí verb system.
