I agree that pei should turn a vocative into a vocative 
question, rather than ask a question independent of the
vocative. Many of them would give useful questions:
nu'epei, ki'epei, fi'ipei, re'ipei, mu'opei, je'epei,
vi'opei, ke'opei, fe'opei. 

I'm not sure about mi'epei. By logic it seems it should 
be {mi'epei djan}, "Are you John?", but I would tend to
say {doipei djan}.

mu'o mi'e xorxes
