That brings up an interesting point: While you're correct that {ma}
was probably intended here, would {mo} be a valid question anyway,
where it is asking not for a whole selbri, but for part of a tanru?
In other words, could I ask "mo zdani do" for "what kind of house
do you live in" or "ta blanu mo" for "what is that blue thing"?
