"Or, were you compelled to go, or, did you have a reason for going,
or, did you use something to go, or, did you do it with some
intention, or with some result, or under something, or above
something, or to the north of something, or ..."

The "cu'e" question is so open-ended that it's impossible to know what
the questioner wants to know. For your question you could use "do pu
je'i ba klama". There's no reason to suppose that "cu'e" is asking
about time
