TKD section 6.4. Questions (page 69) says otherwise:
| The word for "where?", {nuqDaq,} is actually {nuq} "what?" followed
by the suffix {-Daq} "locative" (see section 3.3.5).

Yes, {nuq DaghoS, rIn} from the Morskan outpost in ST5. Scotty got
"what is your destination" out of it. The captions make clear that it
isn't a clipped {nuqDaq ghoS}.

Mister Scott would likely approve.
