Georgian interrogative pronouns

This file defines the Georgian interrogative pronouns vin 'who', ra 'what' and romeli 'which', and the interrogative pro-adverbs sad(a) 'where', rodis 'when' and rogor 'how'. Each is recorded with the ontological category it asks about. Hewitt notes that ra combines only with non-human nouns and romeli with human and non-human nouns alike. The interrogatives are the bases of the indefinite series of Georgian.Indefinites.
