Lingua Franca Nova follows its Indo-European parentage in
conflating interrogative and relative pronouns/adjectives, a feature
that may be confusing and even baffling to speakers of languages which
clearly distinguish them. How do you translate into LFN the two
meanings of the English sentence "Did you ask the man who did it?"?
(This is a serious question.)
