The use of this pronoun, like the preceding, appears to be confined to simple interrogative forms. The word auneen, which sometimes supplies its place, or is used for want of the pronoun which, is an adverb, and has considerable latitude of meaning. Most commonly it may be considered as the equivalent for how, in what manner, or at what time.
| What do you say? | Auneen akeedöyun? |
| What do you call this? | Auneen aizheneekaudahmun maundun? (i.) |
| What ails you? | Auneen aindeeyun? |
| What is your name? | Auneen aizheekauzoyun? |
| Which do you mean; this or that? (an.) | Auneen ah-ow ainud, woh-ow gämau ewidde? |
| Which do you mean; this or that? (in.) | Auneen eh-eu ewaidumun oh-oo gämau ewaidde? |
| Which boy do you mean? | Auneen ah-ow-ainud? |
By adding to this word, the particle de, it is converted into an adverb of place, and may be rendered where.
| Where do you dwell? | Auneende aindauyun? |
| Where is your son? | Auneende ke gwiss? |
| Where did you see him? | Auneende ke waubumud? |
