Is there a word for the 7 short, one-word questions?
There are 7 short, one-word questions (I call them "querites") that all seem related: who, what, why, when, where, which and how. They all have w and h in them, although "how" has them separated. As far as I can find,these are the only "querites" in our language. Questions can be formed without any of these, using did, was, were, do, are, is, should, could and would, but they all need further extension.
Is there a word for the "querites, as distinct from the other forms?
If all questions contain an "interrogative", what part of the sentence "Should we eat meat?" constitutes the interrogative, given that "should" is a verb?
