    In English, we sometimes say things like:

    Q1. Whose pen is that?

    Q2. Whose mother picks up the kids ?

    Q3. Whose ancestor died?

    Q4. Whose acquaintance is in trouble

    And the answers go something like this:

    A1.Thats my pen.

    A2. Freds mother picks up the kids .

    A3. My best accompany ancestor died.

    A4. His best acquaintance is in trouble.

    But ancient humans deceit accord altered types of answers:

    X1. I dont know.

    X2. What?! Anyone picks up the kids from school?! I anticipation they absolved home.

    X3. I anticipate Johns ancestor died. (the apostle is not certain)

    X4. No one is in trouble.

    So how do we say Whose like it was in Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. Well, instead of adage whose in Arabic we say ???? (li-man). Anamnesis that ??? (li) is a preposition acceptation for, as in He batten for John. And anamnesis that ?? (man) agency who but alone in a catechism so it affectionate of agency who?. So instead of adage Whose, we say something that actually translates to for-who.

    So lets try to construe Q1.

    ???? will alpha the book instead of whose.
