I would say "mi'a pilno lo metlyxalka remoi pau le cipra"
(or "...repaumoi..."). Jbofi'e glosses "pau" as &qu= ot;question follows", but since
it's in UI, it modifies the preceding word if it isn't at the begin= ning of
the sentence.

I generally think of {pau} as useful= at the front of a bridi in instances when the actual question word is buri= ed mid-bridi. And that it doesn't, by itself, make a bridi interrogativ= e. Also, I'd put the {xu} right after the {re}. So something like : {pa= u mi'o re xu roi cipygau se pi'o my}.
